However, most existing attack methods are developed under ideal white-box settings and often suffer from limited transferability to unseen models and insufficient robustness against common defense mechanisms. In this paper, we propose MAT-Adv, a novel adversarial attack framework that enhances both transferability and undefendability by explicitly perturbing the medial axis transform (MAT) representations, in order to induce inherent adversarialness in the resulting point clouds. Specifically, we employ an autoencoder to project input point clouds into compact MAT representations that capture the intrinsic geometric structure of point clouds. By perturbing these intrinsic representations, MAT-Adv introduces structural-level adversarial characteristics that remain effective across diverse models and defense strategies. To mitigate overfitting and prevent perturbation collapse, we incorporate a dropout strategy into the optimization of MAT perturbations, further improving transferability and undefendability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MAT-Adv significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in both transferability and undefendability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55226,"journal":{"name":"Computer Aided Geometric Design","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 102515"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In GPM, potential deviations within an assembly are modeled as infinitesimal flexion motions, characterized as perturbations in the parameters of a geometric constraint system. Consequently, tolerance and functional requirements are expressed as constraint equations and transformed into a linear system for efficient solution. As a purely algebraic method, GPM eliminates the need for constructing propagation paths and performs consistently well in analyzing assemblies with both series and parallel connections.

This dependency incurs high preprocessing overhead, limits cross-platform generalization, and hinders industrial deployment. Furthermore, inherent redundancies within B-rep graphs can obscure essential semantics during encoding. To overcome these limitations, we propose UVConv, an end-to-end dual-path framework that operates exclusively on the original UV grid and face adjacency graph, eliminating auxiliary inputs. UVConv employs a serial geometry-topology processing: the geometric encoder utilizes bottleneck compression to amplify discriminative features, while the topological encoder integrates a Bidirectional Interaction Module (BIM) and an Attention Filtering Module (AFM) to extract critical structural semantics and suppress noise. Comprehensive experiments on multiple benchmark CAD datasets demonstrate that UVConv matches or surpasses state-of-the-art performance without auxiliary data, exhibiting superior representational capacity, robust generalization, and enhanced industrial deployability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55226,"journal":{"name":"Computer Aided Geometric Design","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 102516"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
