SurGe: Improved Surface Geometry in Point Maps
TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
SurGe improves feedforward monocular 3D point maps with a Neighborhood Attention Decoder and a point-map version of scale-invariant gradient matching.
The method reduces artifacts on thin structures and discontinuities, where standard point-map losses often miss visible surface errors.
It also adds point-map normal mean angular error as a complementary metric to better evaluate local surface geometry.
On zero-shot monocular geometry benchmarks, SurGe shows stronger local geometry and competitive or best global AbsRel performance.
