Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Experiments on Shape Net [13] show that NDF, while simple, is the state-of-the art, and allows to reconstruct shapes with inner structures, such as the chairs inside a bus.
Researcher Affiliation Academia Julian Chibane Aymen Mir Gerard Pons-Moll Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Saarland Informatics Campus, Germany {jchibane,amir,gpons}@mpi-inf.mpg.de
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: NDF: Dense PCs
Open Source Code Yes To encourage further research in this new direction, we make code and model publicly available at https://virtualhumans.mpi-inf.mpg.de/ndf/.
Open Datasets Yes Experiments on Shape Net [13] show that NDF, while simple, is the state-of-the art, and allows to reconstruct shapes with inner structures, such as the chairs inside a bus.

Dataset Splits Yes We use a 80/20 random train and test split.
Hardware Specification Yes Each projection takes around 3.7 seconds for a 1 million points on a Tesla V100.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies (e.g., libraries, frameworks) with their version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes clamping the maximal regressed distance to a value δ > 0 concentrates the model capacity to represent the vicinity of the surface accurately. Larger δ values increase the convergence of our visualization Algorithms 1 and 2. We find a good trade-offwith δ = 10cm. [...] To address 1), we found that projecting a point with Eq. 2 multiple times (we use 5 in our experiments) with unit normalized gradient yields accurate surface predictions.
