Implicit Neural Representation of Tileable Material Textures

We explore sinusoidal neural networks to represent periodic tileable textures. Our approach leverages the Fourier series by initializing the first layer of a sinusoidal neural network with integer frequencies with a period P. We prove that the compositions of sinusoidal layers generate only integer frequencies with period P. As a result, our network learns a continuous representation of a periodic pattern, enabling direct evaluation at any spatial coordinate without the need for interpolation. To enforce the resulting pattern to be tileable, we add a regularization term, based on the Poisson equation, to the loss function. Our proposed neural implicit representation is compact and enables efficient reconstruction of high-resolution textures with high visual fidelity and sharpness across multiple levels of detail. We present applications of our approach in the domain of anti-aliased surface.
