• Authors: Junsheng Zhou, Baorui Ma, Yu-Shen Liu, Zhizhong Han,
• Abstract summary: Learning signed distance functions from point clouds is an important task in 3D computer vision. We propose to learn SDFs via a noise to noise mapping, which does not require any clean point cloud or ground truth supervision. Our novelty lies in the noise to noise mapping which can infer a highly accurate SDF of a single object or scene from its multiple or even single noisy observations.

• Abstract: Learning signed distance functions (SDFs) from point clouds is an important task in 3D computer vision. However, without ground truth signed distances, point normals or clean point clouds, current methods still struggle from learning SDFs from noisy point clouds. To overcome this challenge, we propose to learn SDFs via a noise to noise mapping, which does not require any clean point cloud or ground truth supervision. Our novelty lies in the noise to noise mapping which can infer a highly accurate SDF of a single object or scene from its multiple or even single noisy observations. We achieve this by a novel loss which enables statistical reasoning on point clouds and maintains geometric consistency although point clouds are irregular, unordered and have no point correspondence among noisy observations. To accelerate training, we use multi-resolution hash encodings implemented in CUDA in our framework, which reduces our training time by a factor of ten, achieving convergence within one minute. We further introduce a novel schema to improve multi-view reconstruction by estimating SDFs as a prior. Our evaluations under widely-used benchmarks demonstrate our superiority over the state-of-the-art methods in surface reconstruction from point clouds or multi-view images, point cloud denoising and upsampling.

  Point cloud upsampling aims to generate dense and uniformly distributed point sets from a sparse point cloud. Previous methods typically split a sparse point cloud into several local patches, upsample patch points, and merge all upsampled patches. We propose a novel approach that learns an unsigned distance field guided by local priors for point cloud upsampling.

  Current methods are able to reconstruct surfaces by learning Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) from single point clouds without ground truth signed distances or point normals.

  3D point clouds are often perturbed by noise due to the inherent limitation of acquisition equipments. We propose to learn the underlying manifold of a noisy point cloud from differentiably subsampled points. We show that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art denoising methods under both synthetic noise and real world noise.
