• Abstract summary: We present a multi-object 6D detection and tracking pipeline for potentially similar and non-textured objects. A new network architecture, trained solely with synthetic images, allows simultaneous pose estimation of multiple objects. We show how the system can be used in a real AR assistance application within the field of construction.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a multi-object 6D detection and tracking pipeline for potentially similar and non-textured objects. The combination of a convolutional neural network for object classification and rough pose estimation with a local pose refinement and an automatic mismatch detection enables direct application in real-time AR scenarios. A new network architecture, trained solely with synthetic images, allows simultaneous pose estimation of multiple objects with reduced GPU memory consumption and enhanced performance. In addition, the pose estimates are further improved by a local edge-based refinement step that explicitly exploits known object geometry information. For continuous movements, the sole use of local refinement reduces pose mismatches due to geometric ambiguities or occlusions. We showcase the entire tracking pipeline and demonstrate the benefits of the combined approach. Experiments on a challenging set of non-textured similar objects demonstrate the enhanced quality compared to the baseline method. Finally, we illustrate how the system can be used in a real AR assistance application within the field of construction.

  We propose a novel object-level mapping system that can simultaneously segment, track, and reconstruct objects in dynamic scenes. It can further predict and complete their full geometries by conditioning on reconstructions from depth inputs and a category-level shape prior. We evaluate its effectiveness by quantitatively and qualitatively testing it in both synthetic and real-world sequences.

  We present a novel approach to single view metrology that can recover the absolute scale of a scene represented by 3D heights of objects or camera height above the ground. Our method relies on data-driven priors learned by a deep network specifically designed to imbibe weakly supervised constraints from the interplay of the unknown camera with 3D entities such as object heights. We demonstrate state-of-the-art qualitative and quantitative results on several datasets as well as applications including virtual object insertion.
