• Abstract summary: We extend a multi-view 3D semantic mapping system consisting of a network of distributed edge sensors with object-level information. Our method is evaluated on the public Behave dataset where it shows pose estimation within a few centimeters and in real-world experiments with the sensor network in a challenging lab environment.

• Abstract: Autonomous robots that interact with their environment require a detailed semantic scene model. For this, volumetric semantic maps are frequently used. The scene understanding can further be improved by including object-level information in the map. In this work, we extend a multi-view 3D semantic mapping system consisting of a network of distributed smart edge sensors with object-level information, to enable downstream tasks that need object-level input. Objects are represented in the map via their 3D mesh model or as an object-centric volumetric sub-map that can model arbitrary object geometry when no detailed 3D model is available. We propose a keypoint-based approach to estimate object poses via PnP and refinement via ICP alignment of the 3D object model with the observed point cloud segments. Object instances are tracked to integrate observations over time and to be robust against temporary occlusions. Our method is evaluated on the public Behave dataset where it shows pose estimation accuracy within a few centimeters and in real-world experiments with the sensor network in a challenging lab environment where multiple chairs and a table are tracked through the scene online, in real time even under high occlusions.

  We propose a weakly supervised method to estimate 3D position of objects by jointly learning to regress the 2D object detections scene's depth prediction in a single feed-forward pass of a network. Our proposed method extends a single-point based object detector, and introduces a novel object representation where each object is modeled as a BEV point-temporally, without the need of any 3D or BEV annotations for training and LiDAR data at query time.
