We study the problem of 3D object generation. We propose a novel framework, namely 3D Generative Adversarial Network (3D-GAN), which generates 3D objects from a probabilistic space by leveraging recent advances in volumetric convolutional networks and generative adversarial nets. The benefits of our model are three-fold: first, the use of an adversarial criterion, instead of traditional heuristic criteria, enables the generator to capture object structure implicitly and to synthesize high-quality 3D objects; second, the generator establishes a mapping from a low-dimensional probabilistic space to the space of 3D objects, so that we can sample objects without a reference image or CAD models, and explore the 3D object manifold; third, the adversarial discriminator provides a powerful 3D shape descriptor which, learned without supervision, has wide applications in 3D object recognition. Experiments demonstrate that our method generates high-quality 3D objects, and our unsupervisedly learned features achieve impressive performance on 3D object recognition, comparable with those of supervised learning methods.

Three-dimensional geometric data offer an excellent domain for studying representation learning and generative modeling. In this paper, we look at geometric data represented as point clouds. We introduce a deep AutoEncoder (AE) network with state-of-the-art reconstruction quality and generalization ability. The learned representations outperform existing methods on 3D recognition tasks and enable shape editing via simple algebraic manipulations, such as semantic part editing, shape analogies and shape interpolation, as well as shape completion. We perform a thorough study of different generative models including GANs operating on the raw point clouds, significantly improved GANs trained in the fixed latent space of our AEs, and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). To quantitatively evaluate generative models we introduce measures of sample fidelity and diversity based on matchings between sets of point clouds. Interestingly, our evaluation of generalization, fidelity and diversity reveals that GMMs trained in the latent space of our AEs yield the best results overall.

In recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in learning-based reconstruction of 3D objects. At the same time, generative models were proposed that can generate highly realistic images. However, despite this success in these closely related tasks, texture reconstruction of 3D objects has received little attention from the research community and state-of-the-art methods are either limited to comparably low resolution or constrained experimental setups. A major reason for these limitations is that common representations of texture are inefficient or hard to interface for modern deep learning techniques. In this paper, we propose Texture Fields, a novel texture representation which is based on regressing a continuous 3D function parameterized with a neural network. Our approach circumvents limiting factors like shape discretization and parameterization, as the proposed texture representation is independent of the shape representation of the 3D object. We show that Texture Fields are able to represent high frequency texture and naturally blend with modern deep learning techniques. Experimentally, we find that Texture Fields compare favorably to state-of-the-art methods for conditional texture reconstruction of 3D objects and enable learning of probabilistic generative models for texturing unseen 3D models. We believe that Texture Fields will become an important building block for the next generation of generative 3D models.

What is a good vector representation of an object? We believe that it should be generative in 3D, in the sense that it can produce new 3D objects; as well as be predictable from 2D, in the sense that it can be perceived from 2D images. We propose a novel architecture, called the TL-embedding network, to learn an embedding space with these properties. The network consists of two components: (a) an autoencoder that ensures the representation is generative; and (b) a convolutional network that ensures the representation is predictable. This enables tackling a number of tasks including voxel prediction from 2D images and 3D model retrieval. Extensive experimental analysis demonstrates the usefulness and versatility of this embedding.

Generative models, as an important family of statistical modeling, target learning the observed data distribution via generating new instances. Along with the rise of neural networks, deep generative models, such as variational autoencoders (VAEs) and generative adversarial network (GANs), have made tremendous progress in 2D image synthesis. Recently, researchers switch their attentions from the 2D space to the 3D space considering that 3D data better aligns with our physical world and hence enjoys great potential in practice. However, unlike a 2D image, which owns an efficient representation (i.e., pixel grid) by nature, representing 3D data could face far more challenges. Concretely, we would expect an ideal 3D representation to be capable enough to model shapes and appearances in details, and to be highly efficient so as to model high-resolution data with fast speed and low memory cost. However, existing 3D representations, such as point clouds, meshes, and recent neural fields, usually fail to meet the above requirements simultaneously. In this survey, we make a thorough review of the development of 3D generation, including 3D shape generation and 3D-aware image synthesis, from the perspectives of both algorithms and more importantly representations. We hope that our discussion could help the community track the evolution of this field and further spark some innovative ideas to advance this challenging task.

We advocate the use of implicit fields for learning generative models of shapes and introduce an implicit field decoder, called IM-NET, for shape generation, aimed at improving the visual quality of the generated shapes. An implicit field assigns a value to each point in 3D space, so that a shape can be extracted as an iso-surface. IM-NET is trained to perform this assignment by means of a binary classifier. Specifically, it takes a point coordinate, along with a feature vector encoding a shape, and outputs a value which indicates whether the point is outside the shape or not. By replacing conventional decoders by our implicit decoder for representation learning (via IM-AE) and shape generation (via IM-GAN), we demonstrate superior results for tasks such as generative shape modeling, interpolation, and single-view 3D reconstruction, particularly in terms of visual quality. Code and supplementary material are available at https://github.com/czq142857/implicit-decoder.

Our method completes a partial 3D scan using a 3D Encoder-Predictor network that leverages semantic features from a 3D classification network. The predictions are correlated with a shape database, which we use in a multi-resolution 3D shape synthesis step. We obtain completed high-resolution meshes that are inferred from partial, low-resolution input scans.

We present an autoencoder that leverages learned representations to better measure similarities in data space. By combining a variational autoencoder with a generative adversarial network we can use learned feature representations in the GAN discriminator as basis for the VAE reconstruction objective. Thereby, we replace element-wise errors with feature-wise errors to better capture the data distribution while offering invariance towards e.g. translation. We apply our method to images of faces and show that it outperforms VAEs with element-wise similarity measures in terms of visual fidelity. Moreover, we show that the method learns an embedding in which high-level abstract visual features (e.g. wearing glasses) can be modified using simple arithmetic.

随着脑成像技术和机器学习工具的出现，很多努力都致力于构建计算模型来捕获人脑中的视觉信息的编码。最具挑战性的大脑解码任务之一是通过功能磁共振成像（FMRI）测量的脑活动的感知自然图像的精确重建。在这项工作中，我们调查了来自FMRI的自然图像重建的最新学习方法。我们在架构设计，基准数据集和评估指标方面检查这些方法，并在标准化评估指标上呈现公平的性能评估。最后，我们讨论了现有研究的优势和局限，并提出了潜在的未来方向。

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) provide a way to learn deep representations without extensively annotated training data. They achieve this through deriving backpropagation signals through a competitive process involving a pair of networks. The representations that can be learned by GANs may be used in a variety of applications, including image synthesis, semantic image editing, style transfer, image super-resolution and classification. The aim of this review paper is to provide an overview of GANs for the signal processing community, drawing on familiar analogies and concepts where possible. In addition to identifying different methods for training and constructing GANs, we also point to remaining challenges in their theory and application.

我们介绍了一种基于神经辐射场的生成3D模型的方法，仅从每个对象的单个视图训练。虽然产生现实图像不再是一项艰巨的任务，产生相应的3D结构，使得它们可以从不同视图呈现是非微不足道的。我们表明，与现有方法不同，一个不需要多视图数据来实现这一目标。具体而言，我们表明，通过将许多图像对齐，与在共享潜在空间上的单个网络调节的近似规范姿势对齐，您可以学习模型为一类对象的形状和外观的辐射字段的空间。我们通过培训模型来展示这一点，以使用仅包含每个拍摄对象的一个视图的数据集重建对象类别而没有深度或几何信息。我们的实验表明，我们实现最先进的导致单眼深度预测的综合合成和竞争结果。

通常在特定对象类别的大型3D数据集上对3D形状的现有生成模型进行培训。在本文中，我们研究了仅从单个参考3D形状学习的深层生成模型。具体而言，我们提出了一个基于GAN的多尺度模型，旨在捕获一系列空间尺度的输入形状的几何特征。为了避免在3D卷上操作引起的大量内存和计算成本，我们在三平面混合表示上构建了我们的发电机，这仅需要2D卷积。我们在参考形状的体素金字塔上训练我们的生成模型，而无需任何外部监督或手动注释。一旦受过训练，我们的模型就可以产生不同尺寸和宽高比的多样化和高质量的3D形状。所得的形状会跨不同的尺度呈现变化，同时保留了参考形状的全局结构。通过广泛的评估，无论是定性还是定量，我们都证明了我们的模型可以生成各种类型的3D形状。

Many image-to-image translation problems are ambiguous, as a single input image may correspond to multiple possible outputs. In this work, we aim to model a distribution of possible outputs in a conditional generative modeling setting. The ambiguity of the mapping is distilled in a low-dimensional latent vector, which can be randomly sampled at test time. A generator learns to map the given input, combined with this latent code, to the output. We explicitly encourage the connection between output and the latent code to be invertible. This helps prevent a many-to-one mapping from the latent code to the output during training, also known as the problem of mode collapse, and produces more diverse results. We explore several variants of this approach by employing different training objectives, network architectures, and methods of injecting the latent code. Our proposed method encourages bijective consistency between the latent encoding and output modes. We present a systematic comparison of our method and other variants on both perceptual realism and diversity.

从文本描述中综合现实图像是计算机视觉中的主要挑战。当前对图像合成方法的文本缺乏产生代表文本描述符的高分辨率图像。大多数现有的研究都依赖于生成的对抗网络（GAN）或变异自动编码器（VAE）。甘斯具有产生更清晰的图像的能力，但缺乏输出的多样性，而VAE擅长生产各种输出，但是产生的图像通常是模糊的。考虑到gan和vaes的相对优势，我们提出了一个新的有条件VAE（CVAE）和条件gan（CGAN）网络架构，用于合成以文本描述为条件的图像。这项研究使用条件VAE作为初始发电机来生成文本描述符的高级草图。这款来自第一阶段的高级草图输出和文本描述符被用作条件GAN网络的输入。第二阶段GAN产生256x256高分辨率图像。所提出的体系结构受益于条件加强和有条件的GAN网络的残留块，以实现结果。使用CUB和Oxford-102数据集进行了多个实验，并将所提出方法的结果与Stackgan等最新技术进行了比较。实验表明，所提出的方法生成了以文本描述为条件的高分辨率图像，并使用两个数据集基于Inception和Frechet Inception评分产生竞争结果

In recent years, supervised learning with convolutional networks (CNNs) has seen huge adoption in computer vision applications. Comparatively, unsupervised learning with CNNs has received less attention. In this work we hope to help bridge the gap between the success of CNNs for supervised learning and unsupervised learning. We introduce a class of CNNs called deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (DCGANs), that have certain architectural constraints, and demonstrate that they are a strong candidate for unsupervised learning. Training on various image datasets, we show convincing evidence that our deep convolutional adversarial pair learns a hierarchy of representations from object parts to scenes in both the generator and discriminator. Additionally, we use the learned features for novel tasks -demonstrating their applicability as general image representations.

Image-generating machine learning models are typically trained with loss functions based on distance in the image space. This often leads to over-smoothed results. We propose a class of loss functions, which we call deep perceptual similarity metrics (DeePSiM), that mitigate this problem. Instead of computing distances in the image space, we compute distances between image features extracted by deep neural networks. This metric better reflects perceptually similarity of images and thus leads to better results. We show three applications: autoencoder training, a modification of a variational autoencoder, and inversion of deep convolutional networks. In all cases, the generated images look sharp and resemble natural images.

We have witnessed rapid progress on 3D-aware image synthesis, leveraging recent advances in generative visual models and neural rendering. Existing approaches however fall short in two ways: first, they may lack an underlying 3D representation or rely on view-inconsistent rendering, hence synthesizing images that are not multi-view consistent; second, they often depend upon representation network architectures that are not expressive enough, and their results thus lack in image quality. We propose a novel generative model, named Periodic Implicit Generative Adversarial Networks (π-GAN or pi-GAN), for high-quality 3D-aware image synthesis. π-GAN leverages neural representations with periodic activation functions and volumetric rendering to represent scenes as view-consistent radiance fields. The proposed approach obtains state-of-the-art results for 3D-aware image synthesis with multiple real and synthetic datasets.

近年来，拥抱集群研究中的表演学习的深度学习技术引起了广泛的关注，产生了一个新开发的聚类范式，QZ。深度聚类（DC）。通常，DC型号大写AutoEncoders，以了解促进聚类过程的内在特征。如今，一个名为变变AualEncoder（VAE）的生成模型在DC研究中得到了广泛的认可。然而，平原VAE不足以察觉到综合潜在特征，导致细分性能恶化。本文提出了一种新的DC方法来解决这个问题。具体地，生成的逆势网络和VAE被聚结成了一种名为Fusion AutoEncoder（FAE）的新的AutoEncoder，以辨别出更多的辨别性表示，从而使下游聚类任务受益。此外，FAE通过深度剩余网络架构实施，进一步提高了表示学习能力。最后，将FAE的潜在空间转变为由深密神经网络的嵌入空间，用于彼此从彼此拉出不同的簇，并将数据点折叠在单个簇内。在几个图像数据集上进行的实验证明了所提出的DC模型对基线方法的有效性。

我们提出了一种无监督的方法，用于对铰接对象的3D几何形式表示学习，其中不使用图像置态对或前景口罩进行训练。尽管可以通过现有的3D神经表示的明确姿势控制铰接物体的影像图像，但这些方法需要地面真相3D姿势和前景口罩进行训练，这是昂贵的。我们通过学习GAN培训来学习表示形式来消除这种需求。该发电机经过训练，可以通过对抗训练从随机姿势和潜在向量产生逼真的铰接物体图像。为了避免GAN培训的高计算成本，我们提出了基于三平面的铰接对象的有效神经表示形式，然后为其无监督培训提供了基于GAN的框架。实验证明了我们方法的效率，并表明基于GAN的培训可以在没有配对监督的情况下学习可控的3D表示。
