Abstract
Approaches presented herein provide for the reconstruction of implicit multi-dimensional shapes. In one embodiment, oriented point cloud data representative of an object can be obtained using a physical scanning process. The point cloud data can be provided as input to a trained density model that can infer density functions for various points. The points can be mapped to a voxel hierarchy, allowing density functions to be determined for those voxels at the various levels that are associated with at least one point of the input point cloud. Contribution weights can be determined for the various density functions for the sparse voxel hierarchy, and the weighted density functions combined to obtain a density field. The density field can be evaluated to generate a geometric mesh where points having a zero, or near-zero, value are determined to contribute to the surface of the object.
