FurE: Efficient Instance-Specific 3D Fur Reconstruction without Animal-Fur Datasets

Realistic and editable animal fur reconstruction from multi-view images is challenging due to fine-scale detail, self-occlusion and obfuscation, and, unlike human hair, the lack of animal-fur datasets. Fur usually covers most of an animal's body, with large inter-species and intra-species variability. We present FurE, an efficient strand-based animal fur reconstruction method that recovers a per-strand, editable groom by optimizing a root-conditioned latent field, decoded into strand geometry vi
