Notice: This website is continuously updated as new conference proceedings and journal volumes are published. Consequently, the figures presented here may differ from those reported in our publications.


A brief overview of our methodology is provided on the Methods page, along with references to publications documenting our approach and links to the code and data used in each study.


The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates.

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 EMAIL
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.
