Description: SurGe improves 3D point map reconstruction by focusing on local surface geometry, which standard methods miss. It introduces a novel normal metric (MAEnormal) and a scale-invariant loss (Lpgm) to better capture how neighboring points influence local orientation. The resulting model offers superior local surface quality without sacrificing the high accuracy of global 3D shape estimation.
