A Multi-Stream Structure-Enhanced Network for Mesh Denoising

Triangular meshes provide an efficient representation of 3D shapes. Various applications such as 3D simulation suffer from degradation in geometric quality. This paper proposes a novel Multi-stream Structure-Enhanced Network (MSE-Net) based on graph convolutional networks. The network uses multi-scale features besides vertex position to guide face normal filtering, which can better preserve the geometric feature during the denoising process. In contrast to former methods that focus on filtering vertex coordinate and face normal apart, MSE-Net innovatively fuses more structure features like face area, inner product between face normal and vertex normals, and the interior angles of face to guide the face normal and vertex position updating, utilizing the inherent structural characteristic of Mesh. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on several publicly available datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness.
