• Abstract: Surface extraction from implicit neural representations modelling a single class surface is a well-known task. However, there exist no surface extraction methods from an implicit representation of multiple classes that guarantee topological correctness and no holes. In this work, we lay the groundwork by introducing a 2D boundary extraction algorithm for the multi-class case focusing on topological consistency and water-tightness, which also allows for setting minimum detail restraint on the approximation. Finally, we evaluate our algorithm using geological modelling data, showcasing its adaptiveness and ability to honour complex topology.

• Universal Topology Refinement for Medical Image Segmentation with Polynomial Feature Synthesis [19.2371330932614]
  Medical image segmentation methods often neglect topological correctness, making their segmentations unusable for many downstream tasks. One option is to retrain such models whilst including a topology-driven loss component. We present a plug-and-play topology refinement method that is compatible with any domain-specific segmentation pipeline.

  We present a lightweight network that infers grouping and boundaries, including curves, corners and junctions. It operates in a bottom-up fashion, analogous to classical methods for sub-pixel edge localization and edge-linking. Our network uses a mechanism that we call boundary attention a geometry-aware local attention operation.

  We present Minimal Neural Atlas, a novel atlas-based explicit neural surface representation. At its core is a fully learnable parametric domain, given by an implicit probabilistic occupancy field defined on an open square of the parametric space. Our reconstructions are more accurate in terms of the overall geometry, due to the separation of concerns on topology and geometry.

• DeepMesh: Differentiable Iso-Surface Extraction [53.77622255726208]
  We introduce a differentiable way to produce explicit surface mesh representations from Deep Implicit Fields. Our key insight is that by reasoning on how implicit field perturbations impact local surface geometry, one can ultimately differentiate the 3D location of surface samples. We exploit this to define DeepMesh -- end-to-end differentiable mesh representation that can vary its topology.

  We propose a novel method for fine-grained high-quality image segmentation of both objects and scenes. Inspired by dilation and erosion from morphological image processing techniques, we treat the pixel level segmentation problems as squeezing object boundary. Our method yields large gains on COCO, Cityscapes, for both instance and semantic segmentation and outperforms previous state-of-the-art PointRend in both accuracy and speed under the same setting.
