• Abstract summary: We present a method to rapidly train and deploy a pipeline for estimating the continuous 6-DoF pose of an object from a single RGB image. The key idea is to leverage known camera poses and rigid body geometry to partially automate the generation of a large labeled dataset. The dataset, along with sufficient domain randomization, is then used to supervise the training of deep neural networks for predicting semantic keypoints.

• Abstract: In many robotic applications, the environment setting in which the 6-DoF pose estimation of a known, rigid object and its subsequent grasping is to be performed, remains nearly unchanging and might even be known to the robot in advance. In this paper, we refer to this problem as instance-specific pose estimation: the robot is expected to estimate the pose with a high degree of accuracy in only a limited set of familiar scenarios. Minor changes in the scene, including variations in lighting conditions and background appearance, are acceptable but drastic alterations are not anticipated. To this end, we present a method to rapidly train and deploy a pipeline for estimating the continuous 6-DoF pose of an object from a single RGB image. The key idea is to leverage known camera poses and rigid body geometry to partially automate the generation of a large labeled dataset. The dataset, along with sufficient domain randomization, is then used to supervise the training of deep neural networks for predicting semantic keypoints. Experimentally, we demonstrate the convenience and effectiveness of our proposed method to accurately estimate object pose requiring only a very small amount of manual annotation for training.

  We present a new framework named Cas6D for few-shot 6DoF pose estimation that is generalizable and uses only RGB images. To address the false positives of target object detection in the extreme few-shot setting, our framework utilizes a self-supervised pre-trained ViT to learn robust feature representations. Experimental results on the LINEMOD and GenMOP datasets demonstrate that Cas6D outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 9.2% and 3.8% accuracy (Proj-5) under the 32-shot setting.

  We propose a new method for 6D pose estimation refinement from RGB images. Our main insight is that after the initial pose estimate, it is important to pay attention to distinct spatial features of the object. We experimentally show that this approach learns to attend to salient spatial features and learns to ignore occluded parts of the object, leading to better pose estimation across datasets.

  Object pose estimation is an integral part of robot vision and AR. Previous 6D pose retrieval pipelines treat the problem either as a regression task or discretize the pose space to classify. We change this paradigm and reformulate the problem as an action decision process where an initial pose is updated in incremental discrete steps. A neural network estimates likely moves from a single RGB image iteratively and determines so an acceptable final pose.
