Recent advances in neural radiance fields and its variants primarily address opaque or transparent objects, encountering difficulties to reconstruct both transparent and opaque objects simultaneously. This paper introduces $\alpha$-NeuS$\textemdash$an extension of NeuS$\textemdash$that proves NeuS is unbiased for materials from fully transparent to fully opaque. 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. To validate our approach, we construct a benchmark that includes both real-world and synthetic scenes, demonstrating its practical utility and effectiveness.

Where does your enterprise stand on the AI adoption curve? Take our AI survey to find out. Opaque, a startup that helps organizations analyze encrypted data in the cloud, today announced that it closed a $9.5 million seed funding round led by Intel Capital with contributions from Race Capital, The House Fund, and FactoryHQ. Cofounder Raluca Ada Popa says that the funds will help to expand Opaque's ongoing contributions to the open source and data security communities. A majority of data sits in private hands.
