Learning-based Delaunay Tetrahedral Mesh Generation from Signed Distance Field

Abstract

Converting signed distance fields (SDFs) into tetrahedral meshes requires balancing geometric accuracy, element quality, and computational cost. We present a learning-guided framework that combines adaptive sampling with classical geometric construction to accelerate this process. A neural network predicts density fields from the input SDF, learning where to allocate surface and volume samples from density targets derived from reference tetrahedral meshes. Adaptive blue-noise sampling, Delaunay tetrahedralization, and marching tetrahedra then construct a mesh whose boundary follows the input field. A post-processing stage then fixes geometric and topological errors and improves element quality. To validate our approach, we evaluate accuracy, element quality, topology, complexity, and runtime. On four held-out datasets at grid resolutions from to , our method matches the geometric accuracy of CGAL while running up to faster, and every output mesh is closed, manifold, and free of slivers. Applied to SDFs produced by an image-to-3D generative model, it robustly and efficiently meshes shapes on which classical algorithms fail.

Then back it, or bet against it.
