• Abstract: Eye-in-hand camera calibration is a fundamental and long-studied problem in robotics. We present a study on using learning-based methods for solving this problem online from a single RGB image, whilst training our models with entirely synthetic data. We study three main approaches: one direct regression model that directly predicts the extrinsic matrix from an image, one sparse correspondence model that regresses 2D keypoints and then uses PnP, and one dense correspondence model that uses regressed depth and segmentation maps to enable ICP pose estimation. In our experiments, we benchmark these methods against each other and against well-established classical methods, to find the surprising result that direct regression outperforms other approaches, and we perform noise-sensitivity analysis to gain further insights into these results.

  regression-based methods have dominated the field of 3D human pose and shape estimation. We propose to construct dense correspondences between initial human model estimates and the corresponding images. We show that our approach not only consistently leads to better image-model alignment, but also to improved 3D accuracy.

  We present a unique method for predicting intrinsic (principal point offset and focal length) and extrinsic (baseline, pitch, and translation) properties from a pair of images. By reconstructing the 3D points using a camera model neural network and then using the loss in reconstruction to obtain the camera specifications, this innovative camera projection loss (CPL) method allows us that the desired parameters should be estimated.

• Semantic keypoint-based pose estimation from single RGB frames [64.80395521735463]
  We present an approach to estimating the continuous 6-DoF pose of an object from a single RGB image. The approach combines semantic keypoints predicted by a convolutional network (convnet) with a deformable shape model. We show that our approach can accurately recover the 6-DoF object pose for both instance- and class-based scenarios.

  We propose a direct, regression-based approach to 2D human pose estimation from single images. Our framework is end-to-end differentiable, and naturally learns to exploit the dependencies between keypoints. Ours is the first regression-based approach to perform favorably compared to the best heatmap-based pose estimation methods.

  We learn a prior that restricts the SMPL parameters to values that produce realistic poses via adversarial training. We show that our learned prior covers the diversity of the real-data distribution, facilitates optimization for 3D reconstruction from 2D keypoints, and yields better pose estimates when used for regression from images.
