Jacobi-Anger Method for Deterministic Initialization in Implicit Neural Representation

Existing implicit neural representation (INR) approaches suffer from stochastic initialization that does not guarantee consistent or high-quality performance across runs, with variations reaching more than 2.5 dB (~78%) in image regression. This variation is problematic for scientific computing and simulation, where result reproducibility is crucial. To address this problem, we present Jacobi-Anger Sinusoidal Representation Network (JA-SIREN), a deterministic initialization scheme for sinusoidal networks grounded in classical spectral analysis. By computing the Discrete Sine Transform (DST) of the target signal and leveraging the Jacobi-Anger expansion, we derive closed-form weights for a two-layer sinusoidal MLP that analytically match the network's initial spectral response to the target signal, requiring no random seed or additional hyperparameter tuning. On the Kodak dataset, JA-SIREN achieves a mean PSNR of 67.18 dB, a 21.30 dB improvement over the best baseline. This is achieved with zero run-to-run variance, confirming that spectrally-informed initialization is a more effective and reproducible alternative to stochastic initialization for sinusoidal INRs.
