Abstract

Implicit neural representations of 3D shapes form strong priors that are useful for various applications, such as single and multiple view 3D reconstruction. A downside of existing neural representations is that they require multiple network evaluations for rendering, which leads to high computational costs. This limitation forms a bottleneck particularly in the context of inverse problems, such as image-based 3D reconstruction. To address this issue, in this paper (i) we propose a novel hybrid 3D object representation based on a signed distance function (SDF) that we augment with a directional distance function (DDF), so that we can predict distances to the object surface from any point on a sphere enclosing the object. Moreover, (ii) using the proposed hybrid representation we address the multi-view consistency problem common in existing DDF representations. We evaluate our novel hybrid representation on the task of single-view depth reconstruction and show that our method is several times faster compared to competing methods, while at the same time achieving better reconstruction accuracy.
