• Abstract: State-of-the-art approaches for 6D object pose estimation require large amounts of labeled data to train the deep networks. However, the acquisition of 6D object pose annotations is tedious and labor-intensive in large quantity. To alleviate this problem, we propose a weakly supervised 6D object pose estimation approach based on 2D keypoint detection. Our method trains only on image pairs with known relative transformations between their viewpoints. Specifically, we assign a set of arbitrarily chosen 3D keypoints to represent each unknown target 3D object and learn a network to detect their 2D projections that comply with the relative camera viewpoints. During inference, our network first infers the 2D keypoints from the query image and a given labeled reference image. We then use these 2D keypoints and the arbitrarily chosen 3D keypoints retained from training to infer the 6D object pose. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves comparable performance with state-of-the-art fully supervised approaches.

  Most recent 6D object pose estimation methods first use object detection to obtain 2D bounding boxes before actually regressing the pose. We propose a rigidity-aware detection method exploiting the fact that, in 6D pose estimation, the target objects are rigid. Key to the success of our approach is a visibility map, which we propose to build using a minimum barrier distance between every pixel in the bounding box and the box boundary.

  We propose an end-to-end method that simultaneously detects 2D keypoints from an image and lifts them to 3D. The proposed method learns both 2D detection and 3D lifting only from 2D keypoints annotations. In addition to being end-to-end in image to 3D learning, our method also handles objects from multiple categories using a single neural network.
