Volume Rendering with Metric--Phase Fields for Thin Structures and Sign-Ambiguous Geometry

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

PhaseSurf introduces a neural volume rendering framework that uses Metric-Phase Fields (MPFs) to handle thin structures and sign-ambiguous geometry. MPFs combine a nonnegative metric field for unsigned proximity with a continuous phase field that softly indicates sign, producing a signed composite implicit function with stable gradients. The method includes specialized training losses for metric consistency and phase transition stability, enabling robust iso-surface extraction and outperforming both SDF- and UDF-based approaches on multi-view datasets with challenging geometry.

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.

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.
