• Abstract: Existing object pose estimation methods commonly require a one-to-one point matching step that forces them to be separated into two consecutive stages: visual correspondence detection (e.g., by matching feature descriptors as part of a perception front-end) followed by geometric alignment (e.g., by optimizing a robust estimation objective for pointcloud registration or perspective-n-point). Instead, we propose a matching-free probabilistic formulation with two main benefits: i) it enables unified and concurrent optimization of both visual correspondence and geometric alignment, and ii) it can represent different plausible modes of the entire distribution of likely poses. This in turn allows for a more graceful treatment of geometric perception scenarios where establishing one-to-one matches between points is conceptually ill-defined, such as textureless, symmetrical and/or occluded objects and scenes where the correct pose is uncertain or there are multiple equally valid solutions.

  State-of-the-art 6D object pose estimators directly predict an object pose given an object observation. We reformulate the state-of-the-art algorithm GDRNPP and introduce EPRO-GDR. Our solution shows that predicting a pose distribution instead of a single pose can improve state-of-the-art single-view pose estimation.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses. We present a Deep Voxel Matching Network (DVMNet) that eliminates the need for pose hypotheses and computes the relative object pose in a single pass. Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  We present a novel solution, Q-REG, which utilizes rich geometric information to estimate the rigid pose from a single correspondence. Q-REG allows to formalize the robust estimation as an exhaustive search, hence enabling end-to-end training. We demonstrate in the experiments that Q-REG is agnostic to the correspondence matching method and provides consistent improvement both when used only in inference and in end-to-end training.

  We propose Probabilistic Warp Consistency, a weakly-supervised learning objective for semantic matching. We first construct an image triplet by applying a known warp to one of the images in a pair depicting different instances of the same object class. Our objective also brings substantial improvements in the strongly-supervised regime, when combined with keypoint annotations.

  We present an approach for aggregating a sparse set of views of an object in order to compute a semi-implicit 3D representation in the form of a volumetric feature grid. Key to our approach is an object-centric canonical 3D coordinate system into which views can be lifted, without explicit camera pose estimation. We show that computing a symmetry-aware mapping from pixels to the canonical coordinate system allows us to better propagate information to unseen regions.

  We argue that the image features extracted at a central point contain limited information for predicting distant keypoints or bounding box boundaries. To facilitate inference, we propose to instead perform regression from a set of points placed at more advantageous positions. We apply this proposed framework, called Point-Set Anchors, to object detection, instance segmentation, and human pose estimation.
