Adaptive Volumetric Mechanical Property Fields Invariant to Resolution

arXiv:2606. 18231v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate mechanical properties (or materials) Young's modulus ($E$), Poisson's ratio ($\nu$) and density ($\rho$) are essential for reliable physics simulation of digital worlds, but most 3D assets lack this information.

Generalizable Neural Reconstruction of High-Fidelity Surfaces via Sparse Volumetric Representations

The paper introduces SVRecon, a generalizable neural surface reconstruction framework that uses sparse volumetric representations to achieve high-resolution 3D reconstruction. It employs a two-stage architecture: first predicting occupied voxels with an occupancy network, then rendering only within those regions using specialized sparse algorithms. This approach allows reconstruction at resolutions up to 512³ on 32 GB hardware, producing smoother and more precise surfaces, especially in sparse-view scenarios.

Sparse auto-regressive modeling for scene generation from multi-view images

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. By representing only occupied voxels in a compact latent space and training a masked autoregressive transformer with photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, the method predicts missing latent tokens and spatial support, enabling efficient and spatially consistent generation of unseen regions. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k demonstrate higher novel‑view quality and real‑world applicability compared to prior work.

RAFT-DVC: Resolution-Aware Machine Learning-Based Digital Volume Correlation

RAFT-DVC is a resolution‑aware family of recurrent all‑pairs field transform (RAFT) based digital volume correlation (DVC) solvers that use encoder downsampling factors of 2, 4, and 8. The solvers localize displacement to about 0.017 feature‑grid voxels, with raw‑volume error scaling roughly as 0.017 s voxels, and exhibit complementary operating regimes determined by displacement reach and volumetric‑texture compatibility. Synthetic benchmarks show comparable performance to tuned classical DVC for fine‑texture, small‑to‑moderate displacements, while outperforming it for coarse‑texture, large‑displacement scenarios; additional tests on confocal and micro‑CT images confirm the importance of matching solver regimes to deformation magnitude and texture, and demonstrate cross‑texture transfer and improved accuracy after correcting sampler geometry.

Sparse auto-regressive modeling for scene generation from multi-view images

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. It learns a compact voxel‑aligned latent space using photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, and employs a masked autoregressive transformer to predict missing voxel occupancy and latent tokens. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k show that SPAR3S achieves higher novel‑view quality than prior methods and generalizes to real‑world data.
