STAR-TM: STructure Aware Reconstruction of Textured Mesh From Single Image
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a novel method for single-view 3D reconstruction of textured meshes, with a focus to address the primary challenge surrounding texture inference and transfer. Our key observation is that learning textured reconstruction in a structure-aware and globally consistent manner is effective in handling the severe ill-posedness of the texturing problem and significant variations in object pose and texture details. Specifically, we perform structured mesh reconstruction, via a retrieval-and-assembly approach, to produce a set of genus-zero parts parameterized by deformable boxes and endowed with semantic information. For texturing, we first transfer visible colors from the input image onto the unified UV texture space of the deformable boxes. Then we combine a learned transformer model for per-part texture completion with a global consistency loss to optimize inter-part texture consistency. Our texture completion model operates in a VQ-VAE embedding space and is trained end-to-end, with the transformer training enhanced with retrieved texture instances to improve texture completion performance amid significant occlusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate higher-quality textured mesh reconstruction obtained by our method over state-of-the-art alternatives, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as reflected by a better recovery of texture coherence and details.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
