Point cloud completion is a generation and estimation issue derived from the partial point clouds, which plays a vital role in the applications in 3D computer vision. The progress of deep learning (DL) has impressively improved the capability and robustness of point cloud completion. However, the quality of completed point clouds is still needed to be further enhanced to meet the practical utilization. Therefore, this work aims to conduct a comprehensive survey on various methods, including point-based, convolution-based, graph-based, and generative model-based approaches, etc. And this survey summarizes the comparisons among these methods to provoke further research insights. Besides, this review sums up the commonly used datasets and illustrates the applications of point cloud completion. Eventually, we also discussed possible research trends in this promptly expanding field.

Pavement damage segmentation has benefited enormously from deep learning. % and large-scale datasets. However, few current public datasets limit the potential exploration of deep learning in the application of pavement damage segmentation. To address this problem, this study has proposed Pavementscapes, a large-scale dataset to develop and evaluate methods for pavement damage segmentation. Pavementscapes is comprised of 4,000 images with a resolution of $1024 \times 2048$, which have been recorded in the real-world pavement inspection projects with 15 different pavements. A total of 8,680 damage instances are manually labeled with six damage classes at the pixel level. The statistical study gives a thorough investigation and analysis of the proposed dataset. The numeral experiments propose the top-performing deep neural networks capable of segmenting pavement damages, which provides the baselines of the open challenge for pavement inspection. The experiment results also indicate the existing problems for damage segmentation using deep learning, and this study provides potential solutions.
