From Transparent to Opaque: Rethinking Neural Implicit Surfaces with α-NeuS

We find that transparent and opaque surfaces align with the non-negative local minima and the zero iso-surface, respectively, in the learned distance field of NeuS. Traditional iso-surfacing extraction algorithms, such as marching cubes, which rely on fixed iso-values, are ill-suited for such data. We develop a method to extract the transparent and opaque surface simultaneously based on DCUDF.
