Limitations/research gap

3D mesh compression

DCT based source image compression

[151]

2022

Direct compression on a 3D model has not been performed

Training neural networks with signed distance function and network weights as a field

[152]

2022

The method is not lossless as mapping weights back to coordinates is not reversible

3D mesh generation

Recurrent neural network (RNN)

[153]

2022

Supervised learning and requires training labels for target normal. There is still a gap in unsupervised polygon normal regression

Deep normal filtering neural network

[149]

2020

3D mesh encryption

Encryption using chaotic behavior in edge computing devices

[154]

2023

Even though vertices are encrypted the edges remain connected and limits model security

Using correlation between two sets of vertices to recover encrypted data

[155]

2022

3D mesh smoothing

RNN

[153]

2022

These methods either correct the vertices or correct the face normal. These methods do not output a final mesh with vertices and labelled edges

Deep normal filtering neural network

[149]

2020

Medical scan segmentation

U-Net

[63]

2015

Supervised learning and requires training labels for target masks. There is a huge gap in unsupervised DL based segmentation

Attention U-Net

[156]

2022

Real time 3D imaging based prediction and diagnosis

Spatio-temporal long short term memory

[157]

2022

Real time 3D model of a moving heart is not constructed in this paper. Faster and efficient way of 3D organ modeling needs to be studied as normal heart rate is 60–100 bpm. So each model should not be modeled fast
