SOV-CAD: Stepwise Orthographic Views Guided CAD Modeling Sequence Reconstruction
TLDR
SOV-CAD uses stepwise orthographic views and offline reinforcement learning to reconstruct CAD modeling sequences from images, outperforming prior methods.
Reasoning
The paper introduces a novel approach combining visual feedback from orthographic projections with a Decision Transformer for sequential CAD reconstruction, showing strong empirical results and data efficiency. However, the abstract lacks explicit details on real-world benchmarks or datasets, though extensive experiments are mentioned.

Innovations
- Stepwise visual supervision with orthographic projections at each modeling step (target, current model, active sketch) for informed action selection
- Offline reinforcement learning with Decision Transformer architecture for CAD sequence reconstruction
- Geometric alignment rewards to incorporate continuous visual feedback for a human-like modeling process
Methodology
SOV-CAD formulates CAD reconstruction as a sequential decision-making task, using offline RL with a Decision Transformer. At each step, it receives stepwise orthographic views (target, incrementally built model, active sketch) and uses geometric alignment rewards to guide the model.
Key Results
SOV-CAD surpasses state-of-the-art methods in CAD sequence reconstruction and exhibits strong data efficiency.
