Survey on Compositional 3D Indoor Scene Generation

Abstract

Compositional 3D indoor scene generation is a long‐standing problem and a rapidly evolving area of research spanning computer graphics, 3D computer vision, and machine learning. The goal is to model the complex relationships among objects and their spatial and functional arrangements within a scene, enabling the creation of rich, diverse and useful 3D environments for a wide range of applications. This survey offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, formulating a unifying framework for analyzing scene generation systems and systematically categorizing existing methods according to their approaches to key components. We review recent progress, analyze the strengths and limitations of different paradigms, and highlight both major advances and open challenges. Our survey aims to serve as a resource for researchers and practitioners, offering insights into the current landscape and inspiring new ideas for future work in this area.
