Abstract:

The task of 3D shape completion, a fundamental aspect of computer graphics and computer vision, has been widely employed in many fields. 3D shape completion aims to infer complete shapes from partially missing shape data. This paper reviewed the current 3D model completion algorithms based on deep learning, and analyzed their advantages and disadvantages. According to the different forms of descriptors, the 3D model completion algorithms could be broadly classified into two categories: the completion methods based on 2D shape descriptors and the completion methods based on 3D shape descriptors. The former involved the projecting of the 3D model into the 2D space for feature extraction to obtain a complete model, including 3D model completion methods based on 2D images and depth maps. The latter involved the direct use of 3D representation for model completion, and according to different representations of 3D models, could be further divided into voxel-based, point cloud-based and implicit-based methods. Meanwhile, this survey provided an overview of the commonly used datasets, metrics, and state-of-the-art performance in the field. It also analyzed and discussed the problems facing current 3D model completion algorithms based on deep learning, and suggested potential avenues for future research.
