arXiv:2609.21225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parametric CAD reconstruction requires recovering both precise geometry and editable modeling operations from visual observations, making it challenging under limited and ambiguous views. Existing methods mainly rely on 2D appearance cues and lack strong multi-view geometric priors. In this work, we present VGGT-CAD, a geometry-aware framework for parametric CAD reconstruction from single- and multi-view observations. We transfer pretrained 3D geometric priors into CAD reconstruction by encoding camera parameters as condition tokens and jointly modeling them with image tokens. To handle varying numbers of viewpoints, we introduce a variable-view cross-view context aggregation module that adaptively fuses multi-view features. We further develop a training-free geometry-aware view selection strategy to select complementary and reliable frames during inference. The resulting representation is decoded into CAD command sequences using a non-autoregressive decoder. We also develop VideoCAD, a large-scale multi-view video benchmark derived from existing CAD data through multi-view re-rendering. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of VGGT-CAD for visual CAD reconstruction under different observation configurations.
VGGT-CAD: Reconstructing Parametric CAD 3D Model with Geometric Grounding
Researchers introduced VGGT-CAD, a geometry-aware framework that reconstructs parametric CAD 3D models from single- and multi-view observations by transferring pretrained 3D geometric priors into CAD reconstruction, according to the arXiv paper 2609.21225v1. The framework encodes camera parameters as condition tokens jointly modeled with image tokens, adds a variable-view cross-view context aggregation module, and uses a training-free geometry-aware view selection strategy, with output decoded into CAD command sequences via a non-autoregressive decoder. The team also released VideoCAD, a large-scale multi-view video benchmark built from existing CAD data through multi-view re-rendering, reporting effectiveness across different observation configurations.
