• Abstract: The $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ invariants of a pose include its rotation angle and screw translation. In this paper, we present a complete comprehensive study of the relative pose estimation problem for a calibrated camera constrained by known $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ invariant, which involves 5 minimal problems in total. These problems reduces the minimal number of point pairs for relative pose estimation and improves the estimation efficiency and robustness. The $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ invariant constraints can come from extra sensor measurements or motion assumption. Different from conventional relative pose estimation with extra constraints, no extrinsic calibration is required to transform the constraints to the camera frame. This advantage comes from the invariance of $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ invariants cross different coordinate systems on a rigid body and makes the solvers more convenient and flexible in practical applications. Besides proposing the concept of relative pose estimation constrained by $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ invariants, we present a comprehensive study of existing polynomial formulations for relative pose estimation and discover their relationship. Different formulations are carefully chosen for each proposed problems to achieve best efficiency. Experiments on synthetic and real data shows performance improvement compared to conventional relative pose estimation methods.

  We present a novel approach and benchmark, termed UNOPose, for unseen one-reference-based object pose estimation. Building upon a coarse-to-fine paradigm, UNOPose constructs an SE(3)-invariant reference frame to standardize object representation. We recalibrate the weight of each correspondence based on its predicted likelihood of being within the overlapping region.

Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  We analyze the problem of estimating optimal $Q$-value functions for a discounted Markov decision process with discrete states and actions. Using a local minimax framework, we show that this functional arises in lower bounds on the accuracy on any estimation procedure. In the other direction, we establish the sharpness of our lower bounds, up to factors logarithmic in the state and action spaces, by analyzing a variance-reduced version of $Q$-learning.
