• Abstract: Category-level articulated object pose estimation aims to estimate a hierarchy of articulation-aware object poses of an unseen articulated object from a known category. To reduce the heavy annotations needed for supervised learning methods, we present a novel self-supervised strategy that solves this problem without any human labels. Our key idea is to factorize canonical shapes and articulated object poses from input articulated shapes through part-level equivariant shape analysis. Specifically, we first introduce the concept of part-level SE(3) equivariance and devise a network to learn features of such property. Then, through a carefully designed fine-grained pose-shape disentanglement strategy, we expect that canonical spaces to support pose estimation could be induced automatically. Thus, we could further predict articulated object poses as per-part rigid transformations describing how parts transform from their canonical part spaces to the camera space. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on both complete and partial point clouds from synthetic and real articulated object datasets.

  Category-level object pose estimation aims to predict the 6D pose as well as the 3D metric size of arbitrary objects from a known set of categories.

We propose a novel geometry-guided Residual Object Bounding Box Projection network RBP-Pose that jointly predicts object pose and residual vectors.

  We present an unsupervised approach for discovering articulated motions in a part-segmented 3D shape collection. Our approach is based on a concept we call category closure: any valid articulation of an object's parts should keep the object in the same semantic category. We evaluate our approach by using it to re-discover part motions from the PartNet-Mobility dataset.
