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?
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
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
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
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.
