• Abstract summary: Instance-aware segmentation of unseen objects is essential for a robotic system in an unstructured environment. This paper addresses Unseen Object Amodal Instances (UOAIS) to detect 1) visible masks, 2) amodal masks, and 3) occlusions on unseen object instances. We evaluate our method on three benchmarks (tabletop, indoors, and bin environments) and achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance.

• Abstract: Instance-aware segmentation of unseen objects is essential for a robotic system in an unstructured environment. Although previous works achieved encouraging results, they were limited to segmenting the only visible regions of unseen objects. For robotic manipulation in a cluttered scene, amodal perception is required to handle the occluded objects behind others. This paper addresses Unseen Object Amodal Instance Segmentation (UOAIS) to detect 1) visible masks, 2) amodal masks, and 3) occlusions on unseen object instances. For this, we propose a Hierarchical Occlusion Modeling (HOM) scheme designed to reason about the occlusion by assigning a hierarchy to a feature fusion and prediction order. We evaluated our method on three benchmarks (tabletop, indoors, and bin environments) and achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance. Robot demos for picking up occluded objects, codes, and datasets are available at https://sites.google.com/view/uoais

• Sequential Amodal Segmentation via Cumulative Occlusion Learning [15.729212571002906]
  A visual system must be able to segment both the visible and occluded regions of objects, while discerning their occlusion order. We introduce a diffusion model with cumulative occlusion learning designed for sequential amodal segmentation of objects with uncertain categories. This model iteratively refines the prediction using the cumulative mask strategy during diffusion, effectively capturing the uncertainty of invisible regions. It is akin to the human capability for amodal perception, i.e., to decipher the spatial ordering among objects and accurately predict complete contours for occluded objects in densely layered visual scenes.

  Recognition of occluded objects in unseen indoor environments is a challenging problem for mobile robots. This work proposes a new slicing-based topological descriptor that captures the 3D shape of object point clouds. It yields similarities between the descriptors of the occluded and the corresponding unoccluded objects, enabling object unity-based recognition.

  We study the problem of object discovery -- separating objects from the background without manual labels. Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.

  We present Neural Descriptor Fields (NDFs), an object representation that encodes both points and relative poses between an object and a target. NDFs are trained in a self-supervised fashion via a 3D auto-encoding task that does not rely on expert-labeled keypoints. Our performance generalizes across both object instances and 6-DoF object poses, and significantly outperforms a recent baseline that relies on 2D descriptors.

We demonstrate an application that uses uncertainty estimates generated by our method to guide a manipulator, leading to efficient understanding of cluttered scenes.
