Deep Mesh Prior: Unsupervised Mesh Restoration using Graph Convolutional Networks (2107.02909v2)

Abstract: This paper addresses mesh restoration problems, i.e., denoising and completion, by learning self-similarity in an unsupervised manner. For this purpose, the proposed method, which we refer to as Deep Mesh Prior, uses a graph convolutional network on meshes to learn the self-similarity. The network takes a single incomplete mesh as input data and directly outputs the reconstructed mesh without being trained using large-scale datasets. Our method does not use any intermediate representations such as an implicit field because the whole process works on a mesh. We demonstrate that our unsupervised method performs equally well or even better than the state-of-the-art methods using large-scale datasets.
