• Abstract: We introduce Spurfies, a novel method for sparse-view surface reconstruction that disentangles appearance and geometry information to utilize local geometry priors trained on synthetic data. Recent research heavily focuses on 3D reconstruction using dense multi-view setups, typically requiring hundreds of images. However, these methods often struggle with few-view scenarios. Existing sparse-view reconstruction techniques often rely on multi-view stereo networks that need to learn joint priors for geometry and appearance from a large amount of data. In contrast, we introduce a neural point representation that disentangles geometry and appearance to train a local geometry prior using a subset of the synthetic ShapeNet dataset only. During inference, we utilize this surface prior as additional constraint for surface and appearance reconstruction from sparse input views via differentiable volume rendering, restricting the space of possible solutions. We validate the effectiveness of our method on the DTU dataset and demonstrate that it outperforms previous state of the art by 35% in surface quality while achieving competitive novel view synthesis quality. Moreover, in contrast to previous works, our method can be applied to larger, unbounded scenes, such as Mip-NeRF 360.

  It is non-trivial to simultaneously recover meticulous geometry and preserve smoothness across regions with differing characteristics. We propose ND-SDF, which learns a Normal Deflection field to represent the angular deviation between the scene normal and the prior normal. Our method not only obtains smooth weakly textured regions such as walls and floors but also preserves the geometric details of complex structures.

  3D surface reconstruction from multi-view images is essential for scene understanding and interaction. Recent implicit surface representations, such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and signed distance functions (SDFs) employ various geometric priors to resolve the lack of observed information. We propose regularizing the geometric modeling by explicitly encouraging the mutual information among surface normals of highly correlated scene points.

  We propose a novel sparse view reconstruction framework that leverages on-surface priors to achieve highly faithful surface reconstruction. Specifically, we design several constraints on global geometry alignment and local geometry refinement for jointly optimizing coarse shapes and fine details. The experimental results with DTU and BlendedMVS datasets in two prevalent sparse settings demonstrate significant improvements over the state-of-the-art methods.

  We present a volume rendering-based neural surface reconstruction method that takes as few as three disparate RGB images as input. Our key idea is to regularize the reconstruction, which is severely ill-posed and leaving significant gaps between the sparse views. Our approach achieves the best reconstruction quality among existing methods in the presence of such sparse views.

  State-of-the-art neural implicit methods allow for high-quality reconstructions of simple scenes from many input views. This is caused primarily by the inherent ambiguity in the RGB reconstruction loss that does not provide enough constraints. Motivated by recent advances in the area of monocular geometry prediction, we explore the utility these cues provide for improving neural implicit surface reconstruction.
