Biography

Stefan Ohrhallinger is a senior researcher at the Institute of Visual Computing and Human-Centered Technology at TU Wien, Austria. He graduated with a Master of Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik) in 1997 from Johannes-Kepler University Linz, Austria. From 1990 to 2009 he developed software for various projects in Austria, the United States and Canada, e.g. as the software architect for the Zentrales Melderegister (Central Population Register) for the Ministery of Interior, Austria.

In 2013 he obtained his PhD from Concordia University, Montréal, Canada. Since October 2012 he is a research associate at TU Wien, working mainly on surface reconstruction, geometry processing and point-based graphics. He has reviewed for major conferences and journals in Computer Graphics, including TOG, TVCG, SGP, CAG, EGPGV, GI, Sensors, and SIGGR PH, and served on the IPCs of GCH'18, Eurographics'21, '22, Pacific Graphics'22, '23, and SMI'24. He co-coordinated Eurographics'21 in Vienna.

Journal Paper with Conference Talk
We present Points2Surf, a method to reconstruct an accurate implicit surface from a noisy point cloud. Unlike current data-driven surface reconstruction methods like DeepSDF and AtlasNet, it is patch-based, improves detail reconstruction, and unlike Screened Poisson Reconstruction (SPR), a learned prior of low-level patch shapes improves reconstruction accuracy. 
Note the quality of reconstructions, both geometric and topological, against the original surfaces. The ability of Points2Surf to generalize to new shapes makes it the first learning-based approach with significant generalization ability under both geometric and topological variations.
