First Shape, Then Meaning: Efficient Geometry and Semantics Learning for Indoor Reconstruction

Neural Surface Reconstruction has become a standard methodology for indoor 3D reconstruction, with Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) proving particularly effective for representing scene geometry. A variety of applications require a detailed understanding of the scene context, driving the need for object-level semantic signals. While recent methods successfully integrate semantic labels, they often inherit the slow training time and limited scalability of multi-SDF learning. In this paper, we introduce FSTM, a unified approach for learning geometry and semantics through a two-step process: a geometry warm-up using RGB inputs and geometric cues, followed by semantic field estimation. By first optimising geometry without semantic supervision, we observe substantial improvements compared to the standard joint optimisation. Rather than relying on specialised modules or complex multi-SDF designs, FSTM shows that a streamlined formulation is sufficient to achieve strong geometric and semantic reconstructions. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world indoor datasets show that our method outperforms multi-SDF approaches. It trains 2.3x faster on Replica, improves robustness to real-world imperfections on ScanNet++, and achieves higher recall by recovering the surfaces of more objects in the scene. The code will be made available at https://remichierchia.github.io/FSTM.

CorticalFlow: A Diffeomorphic Mesh Deformation Module for Cortical Surface Reconstruction

In this paper we introduce CorticalFlow, a new geometric deep-learning model that, given a 3-dimensional image, learns to deform a reference template towards a targeted object. To conserve the template mesh's topological properties, we train our model over a set of diffeomorphic transformations. This new implementation of a flow Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) framework benefits from a small GPU memory footprint, allowing the generation of surfaces with several hundred thousand vertices. To reduce topological errors introduced by its discrete resolution, we derive numeric conditions which improve the manifoldness of the predicted triangle mesh. To exhibit the utility of CorticalFlow, we demonstrate its performance for the challenging task of brain cortical surface reconstruction. In contrast to current state-of-the-art, CorticalFlow produces superior surfaces while reducing the computation time from nine and a half minutes to one second. More significantly, CorticalFlow enforces the generation of anatomically plausible surfaces; the absence of which has been a major impediment restricting the clinical relevance of such surface reconstruction methods.

Learning Dense Correspondence from Synthetic Environments

Estimation of human shape and pose from a single image is a challenging task. It is an even more difficult problem to map the identified human shape onto a 3D human model. Existing methods map manually labelled human pixels in real 2D images onto the 3D surface, which is prone to human error, and the sparsity of available annotated data often leads to sub-optimal results. We propose to solve the problem of data scarcity by training 2D-3D human mapping algorithms using automatically generated synthetic data for which exact and dense 2D-3D correspondence is known. Such a learning strategy using synthetic environments has a high generalisation potential towards real-world data. Using different camera parameter variations, background and lighting settings, we created precise ground truth data that constitutes a wider distribution. We evaluate the performance of models trained on synthetic using the COCO dataset and validation framework. Results show that training 2D-3D mapping network models on synthetic data is a viable alternative to using real data.

A Multiple Decoder CNN for Inverse Consistent 3D Image Registration

The recent application of deep learning technologies in medical image registration has exponentially decreased the registration time and gradually increased registration accuracy when compared to their traditional counterparts. Most of the learning-based registration approaches considers this task as a one directional problem. As a result, only correspondence from the moving image to the target image is considered. However, in some medical procedures bidirectional registration is required to be performed. Unlike other learning-based registration, we propose a registration framework with inverse consistency. The proposed method simultaneously learns forward transformation and backward transformation in an unsupervised manner. We perform training and testing of the method on the publicly available LPBA40 MRI dataset and demonstrate strong performance than baseline registration methods.

Going deeper with brain morphometry using neural networks

Brain morphometry from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a consolidated biomarker for many neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in this domain indicate that deep convolutional neural networks can infer morphometric measurements within a few seconds. Nevertheless, the accuracy of the devised model for insightful bio-markers (mean curvature and thickness) remains unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a more accurate and efficient neural network model for brain morphometry named HerstonNet. More specifically, we develop a 3D ResNet-based neural network to learn rich features directly from MRI, design a multi-scale regression scheme by predicting morphometric measures at feature maps of different resolutions, and leverage a robust optimization method to avoid poor quality minima and reduce the prediction variance. As a result, HerstonNet improves the existing approach by 24.30% in terms of intraclass correlation coefficient (agreement measure) to FreeSurfer silver-standards while maintaining a competitive run-time.
