While Adam usually improves convergence by temporally filtering gradi ents over previous iterations to reduce noise, it is not tailored to inver se rendering where the target signals (textures, volumes, or geometry) are usually piecewise smooth. Previous work has applied the inverse Laplacian operator to smooth gradients spatially, but this isotropic filtering can often lead to oversmoothing. We propose a spatiotemporal optimizer that ca n significantly speedup the convergence over Adam, by enforcing the optimi zation parameter updates to be piecewise smooth through a lightweight spat ial domain cross-bilateral filter. We discuss different options of combini ng spatial filtering and Adam's temporal filtering, and provide intuitions for different scenarios. We show that our filtering leads to significantl y higher-quality reconstructions in different inverse problems including t exture, volume and geometry recovery.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Acces s, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession C hair: Wenzel Jakob (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_443&sess=sess125 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
