Neural implicit representations … a powerful paradigm for 3D reconstruction … fail to capture fine geometric details and thin structures, especially … where only sparse RGB views

… hypothesize … methods … rely on 0-order differential properties, i.e. the 3D surface points and their projections, as supervisory signals. Such properties … do not capture the local 3D geometry around the points and also ignore the interactions between points.

… training neural representations with first-order differential properties, i.e. surface normals, leads to … accurate 3D surface reconstruction even … two RGB (front and back) images

… first compute the approximate surface normals in the image space using the gradient of the depth maps … using … monocular depth estimator such as Depth Anything model.

An implicit surface regressor is then trained using a loss function that enforces the first-order differential properties of the regressed surface to match those … from Depth Anything.

… show that the proposed method achieves an unprecedented level of reconstruction accuracy even when using as few as two RGB views …
