Deep Functional Maps: Structured Prediction for Dense Shape Correspondence
We introduce a new framework for learning dense correspondence between
deformable 3D shapes. Existing learning based approaches model shape
correspondence as a labelling problem, where each point of a query shape
receives a label identifying a point on some reference domain; the
correspondence is then constructed a posteriori by composing the label
predictions of two input shapes. We propose a paradigm shift and design a
structured prediction model in the space of functional maps, linear operators
that provide a compact representation of the correspondence. We model the
learning process via a deep residual network which takes dense descriptor
fields defined on two shapes as input, and outputs a soft map between the two
given objects. The resulting correspondence is shown to be accurate on several
challenging benchmarks comprising multiple categories, synthetic models, real
scans with acquisition artifacts, topological noise, and partiality.Comment: Accepted for publication at ICCV 201
