• Authors: Arul Selvam Periyasamy, Catherine Capellen, Max Schwarz, and Sven Behnke
• Abstract summary: We propose a fully-convolutional extension of the PoseCNN method, which densely predicts object translations and orientations. This has several advantages such as improving the spatial resolution of the orientation predictions. We demonstrate that our method achieves the same accuracy as PoseCNN on the challenging YCB-Video dataset.

• Abstract: Object pose estimation is a key perceptual capability in robotics. We propose a fully-convolutional extension of the PoseCNN method, which densely predicts object translations and orientations. This has several advantages such as improving the spatial resolution of the orientation predictions -- useful in highly-cluttered arrangements, significant reduction in parameters by avoiding full connectivity, and fast inference. We propose and discuss several aggregation methods for dense orientation predictions that can be applied as a post-processing step, such as averaging and clustering techniques. We demonstrate that our method achieves the same accuracy as PoseCNN on the challenging YCB-Video dataset and provide a detailed ablation study of several variants of our method. Finally, we demonstrate that the model can be further improved by inserting an iterative refinement module into the middle of the network, which enforces consistency of the prediction.

  Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) channel state information (CSI) prediction is challenging and crucial for optimizing downstream tasks. Traditional prediction approaches focus on four-dimensional (4D) CSI, which includes predictions over time, bandwidth, and antenna (TX and RX) space. We propose a novel context-conditionedtemporal predictive learning method to capture dependencies within 4D CSI data.
