VGGT-CAD: Reconstructing Parametric CAD 3D Model with Geometric Grounding

VGGT-CAD is a geometry‑aware framework that reconstructs parametric CAD 3D models from single and multi‑view images. It incorporates pretrained 3D geometric priors by encoding camera parameters as condition tokens and jointly modeling them with image tokens. The method introduces a variable‑view cross‑view context aggregation module and a training‑free geometry‑aware view selection strategy, and decodes the learned representation into CAD command sequences using a non‑autoregressive decoder. Additionally, VideoCAD, a large‑scale multi‑view video benchmark derived from existing CAD data, is presented to evaluate the approach.

Revisiting Multi-View Stereo: A Sequence-to-Sequence Formulation

The paper proposes a new sequence-to-sequence formulation for multi-view stereo (MVS) that jointly predicts 3D geometry for all input views using a global transformer architecture. It introduces ray‑map embeddings to inject camera parameters into image tokens and a unified global cost volume to capture 3D structure across all views. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming both traditional MVS and feed‑forward reconstruction baselines.

CADSplat: Sparse-View 3D Gaussian Splatting Aided by CAD Models for Robust, Photorealistic Digital-Twin Reconstruction

CADSplat is a framework that reconstructs photorealistic, geometrically accurate digital twins from fewer than 15 wide‑baseline images by regularizing 3D Gaussian Splatting with an explicit CAD shape prior. It matches segmented object silhouettes to a CAD library to retrieve a suitable model and camera poses, then anchors Gaussian primitives to the model’s surface and jointly optimizes splat parameters, registration, and a non‑rigid deformation field. Experiments on two real‑world datasets show CADSplat outperforms baselines, especially in sparse and self‑occluded scenarios, and its gains mainly stem from constraining splats to a surface rather than the CAD shape itself.

Look Where You Can: Active View Selection for CAD Reconstruction under Occlusion

The paper introduces SightCAD, a framework for parametric CAD reconstruction that explicitly handles view feasibility constraints in realistic indoor scenes. It learns a view selector to choose a small set of feasible viewpoints for a vision‑language model that generates executable CadQuery code, and jointly trains the selector and the VLM using a reward that depends on the final geometric fidelity. The approach outperforms baseline methods on several benchmarks, achieving higher intersection‑over‑union scores and a lower invalid‑code rate.

RoGe: Novel View Synthesis via End-to-End Implicit Reconstruction and Generation

RoGe is a new end‑to‑end framework for novel view synthesis that jointly learns an implicit 3D scene representation and a video diffusion model. It eliminates the need for explicit 3D intermediates by querying the implicit scene with camera rays to produce geometric features that condition the diffusion model. Experiments on DL3DV show that RoGe surpasses reconstruction‑based, generation‑based, and hybrid baselines in image quality and temporal consistency, and ablations confirm the benefits of ray‑queried features and joint training.
