报告题目: Photo-realistic Free-viewpoint Rendering with Neural Sparse Voxel Fields

报告摘要:

It is a well-known challenging problem to use conventional computer graphics techniques for photo-realistic free-viewpoint rendering of real-world scenes. Recent studies have demonstrated promising results by learning 3D scene representations that implicitly encode both geometry and appearance without 3D supervision. However, existing approaches often produce blurry renderings or require time-consuming optical ray marching. I will present our recent work on a new neural implicit representation, called Neural Sparse Voxel Field (NSVF), for fast and high-quality free-viewpoint rendering. With NSVF, our method is 10 times faster at inference time than the state-of-the-art (namely, NeRF), while achieving results of higher quality. I will demonstrate the results of our method on several challenging tasks, including multi-object learning, free-viewpoint rendering of a moving human character, large-scale scene rendering, scene editing and scene composition. Finally, I will discuss challenges and opportunities in neural rendering for future works.

报告题目:3D Descriptor Design and Learning for Robust Non-rigid Shape Matching

报告摘要:

Designing meaningful descriptors for surface points is a fundamental problem in computer vision, computer graphics, and robotics. Although existing learning-based approaches can achieve good performance in specific benchmarks, they usually fail to learn sufficient information from shapes with incompatible structures. In this presentation, I will talk about our recent work on designing and learning 3D local descriptors: (1) we present two new non-learned features, namely, Local Point Signature (LPS) based on spectral embedding using Laplace–Beltrami framework and Wavelet Energy Decomposition Signature (WEDS) from the Dirichlet energy. They exhibit high resilience to changes in mesh resolution, triangulation, scale, and rotation. (2) we also propose new supervised frameworks to transform the non-learned features to more discriminative descriptors. First, we leverage a triplet network to perform deep metric learning by encoding multiscale local features around each vertex into a geometry image. Second, we design a new graph convolutional network named Multiscale Graph Convolutional Network (MGCN). Experimental results show that the proposed approaches achieve promising results on shape matching tasks in terms of incompatible shape structures.
