Calibrated Harmonic Overlaid Implicit Neural Representations for Multi-Dimensional Data
About
Implicit neural representation (INR) has emerged as a powerful prior for multi-dimensional data (e.g., multispectral images and videos). However, most INR methods employing periodic activation functions (e.g., Sine) predominantly rely on function composition. This mechanism introduces optimization instability as network depth increases, thereby limiting their performance. Meanwhile, these methods fail to incorporate proper physical priors to effectively alleviate spectrum bias. To address these issues, inspired by the commonalities between deep periodic networks and generalized Fourier series, we propose a novel Calibrated Harmonic Overlaid Implicit Neural Representation (CHOIR). Specifically, we utilize Coordinated Harmonic Superposition (CHS) to replace the conventional function composition used in most INRs, thereby ensuring optimization stability when scaling network depth. Furthermore, we introduce a Perceptual Spectrum Calibration (PSC) to mitigate spectrum bias. This calibration embeds the ubiquitous power-law spectrum prior of natural images and adjusts the globally fixed spectrum towards a physically plausible log-uniform distribution. Extensive experiments on various multidimensional data recovery problems demonstrate that our method achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art approaches.
