Learning Eigenstructures of Unstructured Data Manifolds
- 用神经网络学习隐式算子的谱分解,最小化重构误差。
- 在3D点云和高维图像流形上获得类拉普拉斯谱基。
- 无监督训练,不依赖网格或维度假设,适合任意数据。
我们提出一种新框架,直接从非结构化数据中学习形状与流形分析的谱基,无需传统算子选择、离散化和特征求解。基于最优逼近理论,通过最小化在选定探测函数分布上的重构误差来训练网络,以分解隐式近似算子。合适的分布可近似拉普拉斯算子及其特征分解,后者在几何处理中至关重要。该方法统一恢复了谱基、隐式度量采样密度及算子特征值。其无监督特性不依赖数据流形的网格化或维度信息,可扩展至任意维度数据集。在位于3D表面的点云和高维图像流形上,该方法生成有意义的谱基,表现类似拉普拉斯谱基,且无需显式构造算子。通过以学习方式替代传统算子构建与特征分解流程,本框架为非结构化数据的几何处理提供了原则性、数据驱动的新范式,尤其适用于高维空间。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We introduce a novel framework that directly learns a spectral basis for shape and manifold analysis from unstructured data, eliminating the need for traditional operator selection, discretization, and eigensolvers. Grounded in optimal-approximation theory, we train a network to decompose an implicit approximation operator by minimizing the reconstruction error in the learned basis over a chosen distribution of probe functions. For suitable distributions, they can be seen as an approximation of the Laplacian operator and its eigendecomposition, which are fundamental in geometry processing. Furthermore, our method recovers in a unified manner not only the spectral basis, but also the implicit metric's sampling density and the eigenvalues of the underlying operator. Notably, our unsupervised method makes no assumption on the data manifold, such as meshing or manifold dimensionality, allowing it to scale to arbitrary datasets of any dimension. On point clouds lying on surfaces in 3D and high-dimensional image manifolds, our approach yields meaningful spectral bases, that can resemble those of the Laplacian, without explicit construction of an operator. By replacing the traditional operator selection, construction, and eigendecomposition with a learning-based approach, our framework offers a principled, data-driven alternative to conventional pipelines. This opens new possibilities in geometry processing for unstructured data, particularly in high-dimensional spaces.
