Style-compatible Object Recommendation for Multi-room Indoor Scene Synthesis

\begin{abstract} Traditional indoor scene synthesis methods often take a two-step approach: object selection and object arrangement. Current state-of-the-art object selection approaches are based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and can produce realistic scenes for a single room. However, they cannot be directly extended to synthesize style-compatible scenes for multiple rooms with different functions. To address this issue, we treat the object selection problem as combinatorial optimization based on a Labeled LDA (L-LDA) model. We first calculate occurrence probability distribution of object categories according to a topic model, and then sample objects from each category considering their function diversity along with style compatibility, while regarding not only separate rooms, but also associations among rooms. User study shows that our method outperforms the baselines by incorporating multi-function and multi-room settings with style constraints, and sometimes even produces plausible scenes comparable to those produced by professional designers.
