SuperFlex: Deformable Superquadrics for Point Cloud Decomposition
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Superquadrics have proven to provide a compact, geometrically meaningful representation for 3D objects. However, existing methods suffer from limited reconstruction accuracy, are restricted to rigid primitives, and lack robustness to partial point clouds. In this work, we present SuperFlex, an enhanced framework that expands the expressive power and applicability of superquadric decompositions. First, we introduce a novel loss formulation which significantly improves reconstruction accuracy. Second, we include bending and tapering deformations, enabling high-fidelity representation of curved and asymmetric geometries. Finally, we leverage these high-quality decompositions as supervision to train a model that is robust to partial real-world point clouds. Experiments demonstrate substantial improvements in reconstruction accuracy over both optimization- and learning-based baselines while maintaining a highly compact primitive representation.
