Joint Optimization-Based Texture and Geometry Enhancement Method for Single-Image-Based 3D Content Creation

Recent studies have explored the generation of three-dimensional (3D) meshes from single images. A key challenge in this area is the difficulty of improving both the generalization and detail simultaneously in 3D mesh generation. To address this issue, existing methods utilize fixed-resolution mesh features to train networks for generalization. This approach is capable of generating the overall 3D shape without limitations on object categories. However, the generated shape often exhibits a blurred surface and suffers from suboptimal texture resolution due to the fixed-resolution mesh features. In this study, we propose a joint optimization method that enhances geometry and texture by integrating generalized 3D mesh generation with adjustable mesh resolution. Specifically, we apply an inverse-rendering-based remeshing technique that enables the estimation of complex-shaped mesh estimations without relying on fixed-resolution structures. After remeshing, we enhance the texture to improve the detailed quality of the remeshed mesh via a texture enhancement diffusion model. By separating the tasks of generalization, detailed geometry estimation, and texture enhancement and adapting different target features for each specific network, the proposed joint optimization method effectively addresses the characteristics of individual objects, resulting in increased surface detail and the generation of high-quality textures. Experimental results on the Google Scanned Objects and ShapeNet datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of 3D geometry and texture estimation, as evaluated by the PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS, and CD metrics.
