We propose NeuMIP, a neural method for representing and rendering a variety of material appearances at different scales. Classical prefiltering (mipmapping) methods work well on simple material properties such as diffuse color, but fail to generalize to normals, self-shadowing, fibers or more complex microstructures and reflectances. In this work, we generalize traditional mipmap pyramids to pyramids of neural textures, combined with a fully connected network. We also introduce neural offsets, a novel method which allows rendering materials with intricate parallax effects without any tessellation. This generalizes classical parallax mapping, but is trained without supervision by any explicit heightfield. Neural materials within our system support a 7-dimensional query, including position, incoming and outgoing direction, and the desired filter kernel size. The materials have small storage (on the order of standard mipmapping except with more texture channels), and can be integrated within common Monte-Carlo path tracing systems. We demonstrate our method on a variety of materials, resulting in complex appearance across levels of detail, with accurate parallax, self-shadowing, and other effects.

Recent work has shown that Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) can serve as generative models of images using the perspective of Continuous Normalizing Flows (CNFs). Such models offer exact likelihood calculation, and invertible generation/
density estimation. In this work we introduce a Multi-Resolution variant of such models (MRCNF), by characterizing the conditional distribution over the additional information required to generate a fine image that is consistent with the coarse image. We introduce a transformation between resolutions that allows for no change in the log likelihood. We show that this approach yields comparable likelihood values for various image datasets, with improved performance at higher resolutions, with fewer parameters, using only 1 GPU. Further, we examine the out-of-distribution properties of (Multi-Resolution) Continuous Normalizing Flows, and find that they are similar to those of other likelihood-based generative models.
This paper introduces Neural Subdivision, a novel framework for data-driven coarse-to-fine geometry modeling. During inference, our method takes a coarse triangle mesh as input and recursively subdivides it to a finer geometry by applying the fixed t
opological updates of Loop Subdivision, but predicting vertex positions using a neural network conditioned on the local geometry of a patch. This approach enables us to learn complex non-linear subdivision schemes, beyond simple linear averaging used in classical techniques. One of our key contributions is a novel self-supervised training setup that only requires a set of high-resolution meshes for learning network weights. For any training shape, we stochastically generate diverse low-resolution discretizations of coarse counterparts, while maintaining a bijective mapping that prescribes the exact target position of every new vertex during the subdivision process. This leads to a very efficient and accurate loss function for conditional mesh generation, and enables us to train a method that generalizes across discretizations and favors preserving the manifold structure of the output. During training we optimize for the same set of network weights across all local mesh patches, thus providing an architecture that is not constrained to a specific input mesh, fixed genus, or category. Our network encodes patch geometry in a local frame in a rotation- and translation-invariant manner. Jointly, these design choices enable our method to generalize well, and we demonstrate that even when trained on a single high-resolution mesh our method generates reasonable subdivisions for novel shapes.
Modern solutions to the single image super-resolution (SISR) problem using deep neural networks aim not only at better performance accuracy but also at a lighter and computationally efficient model. To that end, recently, neural architecture search (
NAS) approaches have shown some tremendous potential. Following the same underlying, in this paper, we suggest a novel trilevel NAS method that provides a better balance between different efficiency metrics and performance to solve SISR. Unlike available NAS, our search is more complete, and therefore it leads to an efficient, optimized, and compressed architecture. We innovatively introduce a trilevel search space modeling, i.e., hierarchical modeling on network-, cell-, and kernel-level structures. To make the search on trilevel spaces differentiable and efficient, we exploit a new sparsestmax technique that is excellent at generating sparse distributions of individual neural architecture candidates so that they can be better disentangled for the final selection from the enlarged search space. We further introduce the sorting technique to the sparsestmax relaxation for better network-level compression. The proposed NAS optimization additionally facilitates simultaneous search and training in a single phase, reducing search time and train time. Comprehensive evaluations on the benchmark datasets show our methods clear superiority over the state-of-the-art NAS in terms of a good trade-off between model size, performance, and efficiency.
Existing physical cloth simulators suffer from expensive computation and difficulties in tuning mechanical parameters to get desired wrinkling behaviors. Data-driven methods provide an alternative solution. It typically synthesizes cloth animation at
a much lower computational cost, and also creates wrinkling effects that highly resemble the much controllable training data. In this paper we propose a deep learning based method for synthesizing cloth animation with high resolution meshes. To do this we first create a dataset for training: a pair of low and high resolution meshes are simulated and their motions are synchronized. As a result the two meshes exhibit similar large-scale deformation but different small wrinkles. Each simulated mesh pair are then converted into a pair of low and high resolution images (a 2D array of samples), with each sample can be interpreted as any of three features: the displacement, the normal and the velocity. With these image pairs, we design a multi-feature super-resolution (MFSR) network that jointly train an upsampling synthesizer for the three features. The MFSR architecture consists of two key components: a sharing module that takes multiple features as input to learn low-level representations from corresponding super-resolution tasks simultaneously; and task-specific modules focusing on various high-level semantics. Frame-to-frame consistency is well maintained thanks to the proposed kinematics-based loss function. Our method achieves realistic results at high frame rates: 12-14 times faster than traditional physical simulation. We demonstrate the performance of our method with various experimental scenes, including a dressed character with sophisticated collisions.
We propose a novel approach for performing convolution of signals on curved surfaces and show its utility in a variety of geometric deep learning applications. Key to our construction is the notion of directional functions defined on the surface, whi
ch extend the classic real-valued signals and which can be naturally convolved with with real-valued template functions. As a result, rather than trying to fix a canonical orientation or only keeping the maximal response across all alignments of a 2D template at every point of the surface, as done in previous works, we show how information across all rotations can be kept across different layers of the neural network. Our construction, which we call multi-directional geodesic convolution, or directional convolution for short, allows, in particular, to propagate and relate directional information across layers and thus different regions on the shape. We first define directional convolution in the continuous setting, prove its key properties and then show how it can be implemented in practice, for shapes represented as triangle meshes. We evaluate directional convolution in a wide variety of learning scenarios ranging from classification of signals on surfaces, to shape segmentation and shape matching, where we show a significant improvement over several baselines.
