## Overview
SDFStudio is built on top of nerfstudio. It implements multiple implicit surface reconstruction methods including:
- UniSurf
- VolSDF
- NeuS
- MonoSDF
- Mono-UniSurf
- Mono-NeuS
- Geo-NeuS
- Geo-UniSurf
- Geo-VolSDF
- NeuS-acc
- NeuS-facto
- NeuralReconW
You can learn more about these methods [here](https://github.com/autonomousvision/sdfstudio/blob/master/docs/sdfstudio-methods.md#Methods)
## Surface models in nerfstudio
We intend to integrate many of the SDFStudio improvements back into the nerfstudio core repository.
Supported methods:
- NeuS
- NeuS-facto
