NeuralSRNF: Neural Square Root Normal Fields for the Statistical Shape Analysis and Generation of Nonrigid 3D and 4D Objects

NeuralSRNF is a new framework that enables efficient statistical shape analysis and generation of genus‑zero 3D and 4D objects undergoing nonrigid deformations. It replaces costly numerical SRNF inversion with a continuous, resolution‑agnostic neural representation that accurately reconstructs shapes and computes inverse SRNF maps in under 3 s, compared to over 10 min for traditional methods. Experiments on multiple datasets show that NeuralSRNF outperforms existing techniques in accuracy and speed across tasks such as geodesic computation, deformation transfer, statistical summarization, and shape generation.

HyperShape: Hyperelasticity Across Diverse Shapes

arXiv:2608. 09938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hyperelastic deformations are highly sensitive to domain geometry and boundary conditions, making generalization across both a critical capability for neural operators applied to these problems.

TokenMatch: 3D Mesh Correspondence Transformer with Curvature-Guided Tokenisation

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.
