Abstract

The goal of this document is to survey existing methods for recovering or extracting CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) representations from unstructured data such as 3D point-clouds or polygon meshes. We review and discuss related topics such as the segmentation and fitting of the input data. We cover techniques from solid modeling for the conversion of a polyhedron to a CSG expression and for the conversion of a B-rep to a CSG expression. We look at approaches coming from program synthesis, evolutionary techniques (such as genetic programming or genetic algorithm), and deep learning. Finally, we conclude our survey with a discussion of techniques for the generation of computer programs involving higher-level constructs, representations, and operations for representing solids.
