Deep Learning Approaches for 3D Medical Scene Completion: From Geometric Modeling to Generative Paradigms

arXiv:2606.24180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Three-dimensional scene completion has evolved as a major problem in computer vision and robotics, and its applications are diverse, including autonomous navigation and augmented reality. In this study, a systematic review has been conducted to compile the research contributions made in the last ten years, i.e., 2016 to 2026, which has revolutionized the field from the voxel semantic completion paradigm represented by SSCNet to the latest paradigm that combines generative diffusion priors with real-time rendering using a Gaussian splatting tech

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancements in deep learning, particularly generative models like diffusion priors, are enabling solutions to complex 3D scene completion problems that were previously intractable.

Why it’s important

Improved 3D scene completion is critical for the robustness of autonomous systems and the development of immersive augmented reality, impacting diverse industries from healthcare to defense.

What changes

The shift from voxel-based methods to generative diffusion priors combined with real-time rendering signifies a major leap in accuracy, efficiency, and fidelity for 3D reconstruction and understanding.
