High-Fidelity Surface Splatting-Based 3D Reconstruction from Multi-View Images

Multi-view mesh reconstruction remains a core challenge in computer graphics and vision, especially for recovering high-frequency geometry from sparse observations. Recent methods such as 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) rely on post-processing for mesh extraction, thereby limiting joint optimization of geometry and appearance. Implicit Moving Least Squares (IMLS) instead enables direct conversion of point clouds into signed distance and texture fields, supporting end-to-end reconstruction and rendering. However, existing IMLS formulations use exponential kernels that struggle with high-frequency detail. We introduce a compact polynomial kernel with local support and greater flexibility, allowing better control over frequency content and improved geometric fidelity. To further enhance fine details, we incorporate stochastic regularization with Laplacian filtering. Together, these improve the preservation of high-frequency structure while maintaining stable optimization. Experiments show state-of-the-art performance in both surface reconstruction and rendering, yielding more accurate geometry and sharper visuals from multi-view data.

Physics-based Mesh Deformation with Haptic Feedback and Material Anisotropy

We present a physics-based framework to simulate porous, deformable materials and interactive tools with haptic feedback that can reshape it. In order to allow the material to be moulded non-homogeneously, we propose an algorithm to change the material properties of the object depending on its water content. We present a multi-resolution, multi-timescale simulation framework to enable stable visual and haptic feedback at interactive rates. We test our model for physical consistency, accuracy, interactivity and appeal through a user study and quantitative performance evaluation.
