Jacobi-Anger Method for Deterministic Initialization in Implicit Neural Representation

We study sinusoidal recurrence as an iterative mechanism for harmonic spectral enrichment in implicit neural representations (INRs). Our analysis reveals that sinusoidal activations induce a harmonic line spectrum, providing a spectral account of how recurrent unrolling enriches the effective spectral support. We realize this principle with a shared sinusoidal block that iteratively refines the latent representation. We empirically validate the resulting spectral behavior against feed-forward INRs, non-sinusoidal recurrent variants, and equilibrium-style sinusoidal models. Complementing this analysis, we evaluate the proposed architecture across image and 3D representation tasks. On RGB image benchmarks, our method achieves higher fidelity than feed-forward baselines with fewer parameters and fewer optimization steps, and it further transfers favorably to super-resolution, NeRF, and SDF tasks.

Periodic Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) such as SIREN and FINER assign every neuron, the same global frequency, spending the representational budget inefficiently when local signal content varies. We introduce FiRe (Frequency Reparameterization), that accelerates optimization by reparameterizing per-neuron frequency of periodic INRs without changing their underlying activation function. FiRe gives each neuron a bounded, input-dependent frequency via a separate low-rank gating path and is applicable to any periodic activation function. The gate acts as an implicit preconditioner that improves optimization conditioning at initialization via the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK). This better-conditioned initialization makes optimization converge faster, and the high-frequency content of the reconstruction tracks the target more closely at a fixed computational budget. On 2D image fitting, FiRe increases PSNR over a parameter-matched baseline (up to +1 dB at short training budgets), with gains that vary with resolution and diminish at full convergence. We characterize how performance depends on resolution, rank, and training budget, and give an NTK account that predicts these trends.

Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have been proven successful in encoding continuous signals through coordinate-based networks, yet facing a spectral dilemma: periodic activations capture fine details but act as all-pass filters that memorise noise, while spatially compact activations regularise effectively but suffer from low-frequency bias. Existing attempts to resolve this trade-off introduce computational overhead or tuning frailty. We propose to model each neuron's activation as the steady-state response of a sinusoidally-forced damped harmonic oscillator, whose amplitude naturally governs the network's spectral selectivity during training. By jointly optimising the oscillator parameters alongside the network weights, our method adapts to the target signal's spectral content without explicit regularisation. Initialised in the stopband, the network exhibits a coarse-to-fine learning curriculum that progressively expands its spectral gate, capturing low-frequency structures first and high-frequency details only when justified by the reconstruction objective. Comprehensive experiments show that our approach consistently achieves state-of-the-art or competitive results against established INRs, while requiring no task-specific tuning of any hyperparameters.
