• Title: CRT-6D: Fast 6D Object Pose Estimation with Cascaded Refinement Transformers
• Authors: Pedro Castro and Tae-Kyun Kim
• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a novel method we call Cascaded Refinement Transformers, or CRT-6D. We replace the commonly used dense intermediate representation with a sparse set of features sampled from the feature pyramid we call Os(Object Keypoint Features) where each element corresponds to an object keypoint. We achieve inferences 2x faster than the closest real-time state of the art methods while supporting up to 21 objects on a single model.

• Abstract: Learning based 6D object pose estimation methods rely on computing large intermediate pose representations and/or iteratively refining an initial estimation with a slow render-compare pipeline. This paper introduces a novel method we call Cascaded Pose Refinement Transformers, or CRT-6D. We replace the commonly used dense intermediate representation with a sparse set of features sampled from the feature pyramid we call OSKFs(Object Surface Keypoint Features) where each element corresponds to an object keypoint. We employ lightweight deformable transformers and chain them together to iteratively refine proposed poses over the sampled OSKFs. We achieve inference runtimes 2x faster than the closest real-time state of the art methods while supporting up to 21 objects on a single model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of CRT-6D by performing extensive experiments on the LM-O and YCBV datasets. Compared to real-time methods, we achieve state of the art on LM-O and YCB-V, falling slightly behind methods with inference runtimes one order of magnitude higher.

  We propose a novel pipeline that decouples the 6D pose and size estimation to mitigate the influence of imperfect scales on rigid transformations. Specifically, we leverage a pre-trained monocular estimator to extract local geometric information. A separate branch is designed to directly recover the metric scale of the object based on category-level statistics.
