Deep Implicit Function

Deep implicit functions (DIFs) represent 3D shapes and other signals as continuous mathematical functions learned by neural networks, offering compact and efficient representations. Current research focuses on improving accuracy and efficiency through techniques like uncertainty modeling (e.g., using Dropsembles), leveraging hypernetworks for runtime adaptation, and developing novel architectures such as neural additive models for interpretability and adaptive local basis functions for shape completion. These advancements are significantly impacting fields like computer vision, medical image analysis, and robotics by enabling more accurate 3D shape reconstruction, generation, and analysis, particularly for complex or incomplete data.
