TRIDENT: The Nonlinear Trilogy for Implicit Neural Representations

Implicit neural representations (INRs) have garnered significant interest recently for their ability to model complex, high-dimensional data without explicit parameterisation. In this work, we introduce TRIDENT, a novel function for implicit neural representations characterised by a trilogy of nonlinearities. Firstly, it is designed to represent high-order features through order compactness. Secondly, TRIDENT efficiently captures frequency information, a feature called frequency compactness. Thirdly, it has the capability to represent signals or images such that most of its energy is concentrated in a limited spatial region, denoting spatial compactness. We demonstrated through extensive experiments on various inverse problems that our proposed function outperforms existing implicit neural representation functions.
