Learning Continuous Implicit Field with Local Distance Indicator for Arbitrary-Scale Point Cloud Upsampling

Point cloud upsampling aims to generate dense and uniformly distributed point sets from a sparse point cloud, which plays a critical role in 3D computer vision. Previous methods typically split a sparse point cloud into several local patches, upsample patch points, and merge all upsampled patches. However, these methods often produce holes, outliers or non-uniformity due to the splitting and merging process which does not maintain consistency among local patches.To address these issues, we propose a novel approach that learns an unsigned distance field guided by local priors for point cloud upsampling. Specifically, we train a local distance indicator (LDI) that predicts the unsigned distance from a query point to a local implicit surface. Utilizing the learned LDI, we learn an unsigned distance field to represent the sparse point cloud with patch consistency. At inference time, we randomly sample queries around the sparse point cloud, and project these query points onto the zero-level set of the learned implicit field to generate a dense point cloud. We justify that the implicit field is naturally continuous, which inherently enables the application of arbitrary-scale upsampling without necessarily retraining for various scales. We conduct comprehensive experiments on both synthetic data and real scans, and report state-of-the-art results under widely used benchmarks. Project page: https://lisj575.github.io/APU-LDI

Normal estimation for unstructured point clouds is an important task in 3D computer vision. Current methods achieve encouraging results by mapping local patches to normal vectors or learning local surface fitting using neural networks. However, these methods are not generalized well to unseen scenarios and are sensitive to parameter settings. To resolve these issues, we propose an implicit function to learn an angle field around the normal of each point in the spherical coordinate system, which is dubbed as Neural Angle Fields (NeAF). Instead of directly predicting the normal of an input point, we predict the angle offset between the ground truth normal and a randomly sampled query normal. This strategy pushes the network to observe more diverse samples, which leads to higher prediction accuracy in a more robust manner. To predict normals from the learned angle fields at inference time, we randomly sample query vectors in a unit spherical space and take the vectors with minimal angle values as the predicted normals. To further leverage the prior learned by NeAF, we propose to refine the predicted normal vectors by minimizing the angle offsets. The experimental results with synthetic data and real scans show significant improvements over the state-of-the-art under widely used benchmarks. Project page: https://lisj575.github.io/NeAF/.
