Deep learning based 3D shape generation methods generally utilize latent features extracted from color images to encode the semantics of objects and guide the shape generation process. These color image semantics only implicitly encode 3D information, potentially limiting the accuracy of the generated shapes. In this paper we propose a multi-view mesh generation method which incorporates geometry information explicitly by using the features from intermediate depth representations of multi-view stereo and regularizing the 3D shapes against these depth images. First, our system predicts a coarse 3D volume from the color images by probabilistically merging voxel occupancy grids from the prediction of individual views. Then the depth images from multi-view stereo along with the rendered depth images of the coarse shape are used as a contrastive input whose features guide the refinement of the coarse shape through a series of graph convolution networks. Notably, we achieve superior results than state-of-the-art multi-view shape generation methods with 34% decrease in Chamfer distance to ground truth and 14% increase in F1-score on ShapeNet dataset.Our source code is available at https://git.io/Jmalg

While 3D reconstruction is a well-established and widely explored research topic, semantic 3D reconstruction has only recently witnessed an increasing share of attention from the Computer Vision community. Semantic annotations allow in fact to enforce strong class-dependent priors, as planarity for ground and walls, which can be exploited to refine the reconstruction often resulting in non-trivial performance improvements. State-of-the art methods propose volumetric approaches to fuse RGB image data with semantic labels; even if successful, they do not scale well and fail to output high resolution meshes. In this paper we propose a novel method to refine both the geometry and the semantic labeling of a given mesh. We refine the mesh geometry by applying a variational method that optimizes a composite energy made of a state-of-the-art pairwise photo-metric term and a single-view term that models the semantic consistency between the labels of the 3D mesh and those of the segmented images. We also update the semantic labeling through a novel Markov Random Field (MRF) formulation that, together with the classical data and smoothness terms, takes into account class-specific priors estimated directly from the annotated mesh. This is in contrast to state-of-the-art methods that are typically based on handcrafted or learned priors. We are the first, jointly with the very recent and seminal work of [M. Blaha et al arXiv:1706.08336, 2017], to propose the use of semantics inside a mesh refinement framework. Differently from [M. Blaha et al arXiv:1706.08336, 2017], which adopts a more classical pairwise comparison to estimate the flow of the mesh, we apply a single-view comparison between the semantically annotated image and the current 3D mesh labels; this improves the robustness in case of noisy segmentations.
Recovering a 3D head model including the complete face and hair regions is still a challenging problem in computer vision and graphics. In this paper, we consider this problem with a few multi-view portrait images as input. Previous multi-view stereo methods, either based on the optimization strategies or deep learning techniques, suffer from low-frequency geometric structures such as unclear head structures and inaccurate reconstruction in hair regions. To tackle this problem, we propose a prior-guided implicit neural rendering network. Specifically, we model the head geometry with a learnable signed distance field (SDF) and optimize it via an implicit differentiable renderer with the guidance of some human head priors, including the facial prior knowledge, head semantic segmentation information and 2D hair orientation maps. The utilization of these priors can improve the reconstruction accuracy and robustness, leading to a high-quality integrated 3D head model. Extensive ablation studies and comparisons with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate that our method could produce high-fidelity 3D head geometries with the guidance of these priors.
We present MVSNeRF, a novel neural rendering approach that can efficiently reconstruct neural radiance fields for view synthesis. Unlike prior works on neural radiance fields that consider per-scene optimization on densely captured images, we propose a generic deep neural network that can reconstruct radiance fields from only three nearby input views via fast network inference. Our approach leverages plane-swept cost volumes (widely used in multi-view stereo) for geometry-aware scene reasoning, and combines this with physically based volume rendering for neural radiance field reconstruction. We train our network on real objects in the DTU dataset, and test it on three different datasets to evaluate its effectiveness and generalizability. Our approach can generalize across scenes (even indoor scenes, completely different from our training scenes of objects) and generate realistic view synthesis results using only three input images, significantly outperforming concurrent works on generalizable radiance field reconstruction. Moreover, if dense images are captured, our estimated radiance field representation can be easily fine-tuned; this leads to fast per-scene reconstruction with higher rendering quality and substantially less optimization time than NeRF.
One major challenge in 3D reconstruction is to infer the complete shape geometry from partial foreground occlusions. In this paper, we propose a method to reconstruct the complete 3D shape of an object from a single RGB image, with robustness to occlusion. Given the image and a silhouette of the visible region, our approach completes the silhouette of the occluded region and then generates a point cloud. We show improvements for reconstruction of non-occluded and partially occluded objects by providing the predicted complete silhouette as guidance. We also improve state-of-the-art for 3D shape prediction with a 2D reprojection loss from multiple synthetic views and a surface-based smoothing and refinement step. Experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our approach both quantitatively and qualitatively on synthetic and real scene datasets.
In this work, we present a new multi-view depth estimation method that utilizes both conventional SfM reconstruction and learning-based priors over the recently proposed neural radiance fields (NeRF). Unlike existing neural network based optimization method that relies on estimated correspondences, our method directly optimizes over implicit volumes, eliminating the challenging step of matching pixels in indoor scenes. The key to our approach is to utilize the learning-based priors to guide the optimization process of NeRF. Our system firstly adapts a monocular depth network over the target scene by finetuning on its sparse SfM reconstruction. Then, we show that the shape-radiance ambiguity of NeRF still exists in indoor environments and propose to address the issue by employing the adapted depth priors to monitor the sampling process of volume rendering. Finally, a per-pixel confidence map acquired by error computation on the rendered image can be used to further improve the depth quality. Experiments show that our proposed framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on indoor scenes, with surprising findings presented on the effectiveness of correspondence-based optimization and NeRF-based optimization over the adapted depth priors. In addition, we show that the guided optimization scheme does not sacrifice the original synthesis capability of neural radiance fields, improving the rendering quality on both seen and novel views.
