Inside ZODIAC: Octree Spine + VAE (413 meshes) + Diffusion for Shape Completion
maier_ak · x · 2026-09-08
ZODIAC builds an octree of the lumbar spine, compresses it with a VAE trained on 413 meshes, and runs a diffusion model. During sampling it blends the prediction with a noised version of the ultrasound points, keeping real bone while filling in missing parts.
