• Abstract: We present Canonical Consolidation Fields (CanFields): a method for reconstructing a time series of independently-sampled point clouds into a single deforming coherent shape. Such input often comes from motion capture. Existing methods either couple the geometry and the deformation, where by doing so they smooth fine details and lose the ability to track moving points, or they track the deformation explicitly, but introduce topological and geometric artifacts. Our novelty lies in the consolidation of the point clouds into a single canonical shape in a way that reduces the effect of noise and outliers, and enables us to overcome missing regions. We simultaneously reconstruct the velocity fields that guide the deformation. This consolidation allows us to retain the high-frequency details of the geometry, while faithfully reproducing the low-frequency deformation. Our architecture comprises simple components, and fits any single input shape without using datasets. We demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of our methods on a diverse benchmark of dynamic point clouds, including missing regions, sparse frames, and noise.

  We propose a learning-based framework for non-rigid shape registration without correspondence supervision. We deform source mesh towards the target point cloud, guided by correspondences induced by high-dimensional embeddings. Our pipeline achieves state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks of non-rigid point cloud matching.

  We introduce a data-driven shape completion approach that focuses on completing geometric details of missing regions of 3D shapes. Our key insight is to copy and deform patches from the partial input to complete missing regions. We leverage repeating patterns by retrieving patches from the partial input, and learn global structural priors by using a neural network to guide the retrieval and deformation steps.

  Establishing a correspondence between two non-rigidly deforming shapes is one of the most fundamental problems in visual computing. We introduce an approach based on auto-decoder framework, that learns a continuous shape-wise deformation field over a fixed template. Our method is remarkably robust in the presence of strong artefacts and can be generalised to arbitrary shape categories.

  This paper tackles the problem of parts-aware point cloud generation. A simple modification of the Variational Auto-Encoder yields a joint model of the point cloud itself. In addition to the flexibility afforded by our disentangled representation, the inductive bias introduced by our joint modelling approach yields the state-of-the-art experimental results on the ShapeNet dataset.

  We address the problem of learning 3D complete shape from unaligned and real-world partial point clouds. We propose a weakly-supervised method to estimate both 3D canonical shape and 6-DoF pose for alignment, given multiple partial observations. Experiments on both synthetic and real data show that it is feasible and promising to learn 3D shape completion through large-scale data without shape and pose supervision.

• Learning non-rigid surface reconstruction from spatio-temporal image patches [0.0]
  We present a method to reconstruct a dense-temporal depth map of a deformable object from a video sequence. The estimation of depth is performed locally on non-temporal patches of the video, and the full depth video of entire shape is recovered by combining them together. We tested our method on both synthetic and Kinect data and experimentally observed that the reconstruction error is significantly lower than the one obtained using other approaches like conventional non-rigid structure.

  This paper introduces Neural Subdivision, a novel framework for data-driven coarseto-fine geometry modeling. We optimize for the same set of network weights across all local mesh patches, thus providing an architecture that is not constrained to a specific input mesh, fixed genus, or category. We demonstrate that even when trained on a single high-resolution mesh our method generates reasonable subdivisions for novel shapes.
