Learning hybrid (surface-based and volume-based) shape representation

Abstract:

Certain embodiments involve techniques for generating a 3D representation based on a provided 2D image of an object. An image generation system receives the 2D image representation and generates a multi-dimensional vector of the input that represents the image. The image generation system samples a set of points and provides the set of points and the multi-dimensional vector to a neural network that was trained to predict a 3D surface representing the image such that the 3D surface is consistent with a 3D surface of the object calculated using an implicit function for representing the image. The neural network predicts, based on the multi-dimensional vector and the set of points, the 3D surface representing the object.
