• Abstract summary: The proposed pipeline can efficiently generate large amounts of photo-realistic RGBD images for the object of interest. We develop a real-time two-stage 6D pose estimation approach by integrating the object detector YOLO-V4-tiny and the 6D pose estimation algorithm PVN3D. The resulting network shows competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods when evaluated on LineMod dataset.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose a data generation pipeline by leveraging the 3D suite Blender to produce synthetic RGBD image datasets with 6D poses for robotic picking. The proposed pipeline can efficiently generate large amounts of photo-realistic RGBD images for the object of interest. In addition, a collection of domain randomization techniques is introduced to bridge the gap between real and synthetic data. Furthermore, we develop a real-time two-stage 6D pose estimation approach by integrating the object detector YOLO-V4-tiny and the 6D pose estimation algorithm PVN3D for time sensitive robotics applications. With the proposed data generation pipeline, our pose estimation approach can be trained from scratch using only synthetic data without any pre-trained models. The resulting network shows competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods when evaluated on LineMod dataset. We also demonstrate the proposed approach in a robotic experiment, grasping a household object from cluttered background under different lighting conditions.

  We introduce a principled end-to-end reconstruction framework for natural images, where accurate ground-truth poses are not available. We leverage an unconditional 3D-aware generator, to which we apply a hybrid inversion scheme where a model produces a first guess of the solution. Our framework can de-render an image in as few as 10 steps, enabling its use in practical scenarios.

  A promising solution is to make better use of the synthetic dataset, which consists of CAD object models, to boost the learning on real datasets. Recent work on 3D pre-training exhibits failure when transfer features learned on synthetic objects to other real-world applications. In this work, we put forward a new method called RandomRooms to accomplish this objective.
