M-plicits: Neural Implicit Surfaces via Nested Multiscale Residuals

M-plicits introduces a multiscale framework for neural implicit surfaces that models a surface as a residual sum of MLPs trained on nested neighborhoods. By localizing supervision to narrow bands around previous zero-level sets, the method achieves robustness to noisy input, avoids costly mesh extraction, and enables a multiscale sphere-tracing algorithm with analytical normal computation. Experiments on Stanford and Thingi32 show superior Chamfer distance and IoU metrics compared to existing methods while using far fewer parameters.

NeuDonatello: Uncertainty-Aware Framework for Accurate Neural SDF Learning

NeuDonatello is a new framework for neural signed distance function (SDF) learning that explicitly models spatially varying uncertainty using Monte Carlo sampling. By incorporating this uncertainty into an adaptive regularization scheme and an uncertainty-aware SDF-to-density conversion, the method selectively strengthens geometric constraints where RGB supervision is unreliable, thereby improving surface reconstruction accuracy. Experiments show that NeuDonatello achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on diverse scenes using only posed RGB images.
