Surface Normals Estimation

32 papers with code • 8 benchmarks • 12 datasets

Surface normal estimation deals with the task of predicting the surface orientation of the objects present inside a scene. Refer to Designing Deep Networks for Surface Normal Estimation (Wang et al.) to get a good overview of several design choices that led to the development of a CNN-based surface normal estimator.

How Well Do Self-Supervised Models Transfer?

linusericsson/ssl-transfer CVPR 2021

We evaluate the transfer performance of 13 top self-supervised models on 40 downstream tasks, including many-shot and few-shot recognition, object detection, and dense prediction.

NeRD: Neural Reflectance Decomposition from Image Collections

cgtuebingen/nerd-neural-reflectance-decomposition ICCV 2021

This problem is inherently more challenging when the illumination is not a single light source under laboratory conditions but is instead an unconstrained environmental illumination.

NeRFactor: Neural Factorization of Shape and Reflectance Under an Unknown Illumination

google/nerfactor 3 Jun 2021

This enables the rendering of novel views of the object under arbitrary environment lighting and editing of the object's material properties.

AdaFit: Rethinking Learning-based Normal Estimation on Point Clouds

runsong123/adafit ICCV 2021

Existing works use a network to learn point-wise weights for weighted least squares surface fitting to estimate the normals, which has difficulty in finding accurate normals in complex regions or containing noisy points.
