• Abstract summary: We propose an end-to-end differentiable model that refines pose estimates by learning the forces experienced by the object. By matching the learned net force to an estimate of net force based on finite differences of position, this model is able to find forces that accurately describe the movement of the object. We show this model successfully corrects poses and finds contact maps that better match the ground truth, despite not using any RGB or depth image data.

• Abstract: All hand-object interaction is controlled by forces that the two bodies exert on each other, but little work has been done in modeling these underlying forces when doing pose and contact estimation from RGB/RGB-D data. Given the pose of the hand and object from any pose estimation system, we propose an end-to-end differentiable model that refines pose estimates by learning the forces experienced by the object at each vertex in its mesh. By matching the learned net force to an estimate of net force based on finite differences of position, this model is able to find forces that accurately describe the movement of the object, while resolving issues like mesh interpenetration and lack of contact. Evaluating on the ContactPose dataset, we show this model successfully corrects poses and finds contact maps that better match the ground truth, despite not using any RGB or depth image data.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses. We present a Deep Voxel Matching Network (DVMNet) that eliminates the need for pose hypotheses and computes the relative object pose in a single pass. Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  The paper proposes a physics-based method to better solve the ambiguities in the reconstruction. It first proposes a force-based dynamic model of the in-hand object, which recovers the unobserved contacts and also solves for plausible contact forces. Experiments show that the proposed technique reconstructs both physically plausible and more accurate hand-object interaction.

  We present Tac2Pose, an object-specific approach to tactile pose estimation from the first touch for known objects. We simulate the contact shapes that a dense set of object poses would produce on the sensor. We obtain contact shapes from the sensor with an object-agnostic calibration step that maps RGB tactile observations to binary contact shapes.

We achieve state-of-the-art results on 3D hand-object reconstruction benchmarks and demonstrate that our approach allows us to improve the pose estimation accuracy.
