From Phase to Phenomenon: Self-Supervised Learning of Subsurface Scattering with Minimal Phase-shift Inputs

We propose a self-supervised pretraining framework for learning sub-surface scattering (SSS) light transport representations from minimal input. Our method leverages a stereo projector-camera setup that captures only eight high-frequency phase-shift profilometry (PSP) images per view to pretrain an encoder in a multi-view, multi-object setting. We introduce a tailored augmentation strategy for PSP-based SSS data, and show that it significantly outperforms standard ImageNet-style augmentations for SSL pretraining. The pretrained encoder learns generalizable SSS representations that transfer effectively to downstream tasks, including spatially varying relighting and representation evaluation using a kNN classifier. Combined with a decoder, the model reconstructs dense scattering footprint responses, trained using a dedicated cost function that improves accuracy, particularly for anisotropic footprints. Despite using only eight input images per view, our approach generalizes to unseen objects with complex geometry and material properties, achieving high-fidelity reconstructions while requiring orders of magnitude fewer images than prior methods.
