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.

Matisse is a training‑free framework that combines active 3D reconstruction with keyframe selection by using evidence from a pretrained generative 3D model. It estimates evidential uncertainty via cross‑attention on 3D latent tokens and derives an evidential information gain to guide view acquisition and keyframe selection, reducing redundant observations and supporting multi‑object scenes with occlusion‑aware aggregation. On GSO30, YCB‑V, and Replica, Matisse improves Chamfer distance by 12.7%, 3.8%, and 9.2% respectively, and speeds up end‑to‑end reconstruction by 1.5× compared to the best baseline.
CADFather is an autonomous system that reconstructs editable CAD models from 3D meshes by coordinating vision‑language assistants, learned and algorithmic tools, and numerical optimization. It evaluates and refines candidate CAD programs, maintaining alternatives for each part and preserving the best valid result throughout reconstruction. The system uses pretrained models without additional training and is evaluated on multiple benchmark datasets for reconstruction quality and execution validity.
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.

The paper introduces a CAD‑free 3D shape prior that enhances object recognition by reconstructing each object with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) from short RGB‑D scans and fusing the resulting shape prototype with frozen DINOv2 image features. Experiments on T‑LESS and HOPE datasets show that geometry alone can match or exceed CAD‑based recognition, and that the combined approach improves performance, especially on shape‑distinctive or partially occluded objects. The study demonstrates that the benefit comes from the geometric information rather than rendered pixels, and that the prior is complementary to frozen vision features.
