A Real-World CAD Segmentation Benchmark: Comparing Rule-Based and Learning-Based Approaches through Hole Detection

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces a real‑world CAD segmentation benchmark focused on fastener‑relevant hole detection, a task that demands human annotation and presents higher geometric complexity than typical synthetic datasets. It presents two rule‑based methods—a graph‑wire‑search and a multi‑view approach—and trains learning‑based models (UV‑Net and AAGNet) on a newly annotated engineering CAD dataset. Extensive experiments evaluate parameter tuning, cross‑domain generalisation, and performance across dataset sizes and IoU thresholds, revealing that rule‑based methods generalise without training data while learning‑based methods excel with sufficient annotations but are less robust to domain shift. "whyItMatters":"The study provides a realistic benchmark and actionable insights into the trade‑offs between data requirements and robustness for CAD segmentation, informing future research and practical applications in engineering tasks."

SynSur: An end-to-end generative pipeline for synthetic industrial surface defect generation and detection

arXiv:2604. 26633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial surface defect inspection suffers from a fundamental data bottleneck: defects are rare, annotations require expert knowledge, and collecting balanced training sets is slow and costly.

CADFit: Precise Mesh-to-CAD Program Generation with Hybrid Optimization

arXiv:2605. 01171v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite recent progress, recovering parametric CAD construction sequences from geometric input, such as meshes or point clouds, is a key challenge for design and manufacturing, as existing CAD reconstruction and generation methods are largely restricted to difficult-to-edit formats like meshes or Breps or editable simple sketch-and-extrude pipelines and low-complexity datasets.

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.
