DeepFit: 3D Surface Fitting via Neural Network Weighted Least Squares
We propose a surface fitting method for unstructured 3D point clouds. This method, called DeepFit, incorporates a neural network to learn point-wise weights for weighted least squares polynomial surface fitting. The learned weights act as a soft selection for the neighborhood of surface points thus avoiding the scale selection required of previous methods. To train the network we propose a novel surface consistency loss that improves point weight estimation. The method enables extracting normal vectors and other geometrical properties, such as principal curvatures, the latter were not presented as ground truth during training. We achieve state-of-the-art results on a benchmark normal and curvature estimation dataset, demonstrate robustness to noise, outliers and density variations, and show its application on noise removal.

AdaFit: Rethinking Learning-based Normal Estimation on Point Clouds
This paper presents a neural network for robust normal estimation on point clouds, named AdaFit, that can deal with point clouds with noise and density variations. Existing works use a network to learn point-wise weights…
Surface Normals EstimationAdjusted least squares fitting of algebraic hypersurfaces
We consider the problem of fitting a set of points in Euclidean space by an algebraic hypersurface. We assume that points on a true hypersurface, described by a polynomial equation, are corrupted by zero mean independent…
A Weighted Least-Squares Method for Non-Asymptotic Identification of Markov Parameters from Multiple Trajectories
Markov parameters play a key role in system identification. There exists many algorithms where these parameters are estimated using least-squares in a first, pre-processing, step, including subspace identification and mu…
Fast and Exact Least Absolute Deviations Line Fitting via Piecewise Affine Lower-Bounding
Least-absolute-deviations (LAD) line fitting is robust to outliers but computationally more involved than least squares regression. Although the literature includes linear and near-linear time algorithms for the LAD line…
Rethinking the Approximation Error in 3D Surface Fitting for Point Cloud Normal Estimation
Most existing approaches for point cloud normal estimation aim to locally fit a geometric surface and calculate the normal from the fitted surface. Recently, learning-based methods have adopted a routine of predicting po…
