CanFields: Consolidating Diffeomorphic Flows for Non-Rigid 4D Interpolation From Arbitrary-Length Sequences

We introduce Canonical Consolidation Fields (CanFields). This novel method interpolates arbitrary-length sequences of independently sampled $3 D$ point clouds into a unified, continuous, and coherent deforming shape. Unlike prior methods that oversmooth geometry or produce topological and geometric artifacts, CanFields optimizes fine-detailed geometry and deformation jointly in an unsupervised fitting with two novel bespoke modules. First, we introduce a dynamic consolidator module that adjusts the input and assigns confidence scores, balancing the optimization of the canonical shape and its motion. Second, we represent the motion as a diffeomorphic flow parameterized by a smooth velocity field. We have validated our robustness and accuracy on more than 50 diverse sequences, demonstrating its superior performance even with missing regions, noisy raw scans, and sparse data.
