• Abstract summary: Estimating 3D shapes and poses of static objects from a single image has important applications for robotics, augmented reality and digital content creation. We demonstrate that a sparse, iterative, render-and-compare approach is more accurate and robust than relying on normalised object coordinates. Our alignment procedure converges after just 3 iterations, improving the state-of-the-art performance on the challenging real-world dataset ScanNet.

• Abstract: Estimating 3D shapes and poses of static objects from a single image has important applications for robotics, augmented reality and digital content creation. Often this is done through direct mesh predictions which produces unrealistic, overly tessellated shapes or by formulating shape prediction as a retrieval task followed by CAD model alignment. Directly predicting CAD model poses from 2D image features is difficult and inaccurate. Some works, such as ROCA, regress normalised object coordinates and use those for computing poses. While this can produce more accurate pose estimates, predicting normalised object coordinates is susceptible to systematic failure. Leveraging efficient transformer architectures we demonstrate that a sparse, iterative, render-and-compare approach is more accurate and robust than relying on normalised object coordinates. For this we combine 2D image information including sparse depth and surface normal values which we estimate directly from the image with 3D CAD model information in early fusion. In particular, we reproject points sampled from the CAD model in an initial, random pose and compute their depth and surface normal values. This combined information is the input to a pose prediction network, SPARC-Net which we train to predict a 9 DoF CAD model pose update. The CAD model is reprojected again and the next pose update is predicted. Our alignment procedure converges after just 3 iterations, improving the state-of-the-art performance on the challenging real-world dataset ScanNet from 25.0% to 31.8% instance alignment accuracy.

  We propose DiffCAD, the first weakly-supervised probabilistic approach to CAD retrieval and alignment from an RGB image. We formulate this as a conditional generative task, leveraging diffusion to learn implicit probabilistic models capturing the shape, pose, and scale of CAD objects in an image. Our approach is trained only on synthetic data, leveraging monocular depth and mask estimates to enable robust zero-shot adaptation to various real target domains.

  We show how keypoint matches from an RGB image to a rendered CAD model allow for more precise object pose predictions. We also show that keypoint matches can not only be used to estimate the pose of an object, but also to modify the shape of the object itself. The proposed geometric shape prediction improves the AP mesh over the state-of-the-art from 33.2 to 37.8 on seen objects and from 8.2 to 17.1 on unseen objects.
