• Abstract summary: We present a novel symmetry-aware multi-view 6D pose estimator called SyMFM6D. Our approach efficiently fuses the RGB-D frames from multiple perspectives in a deep multi-directional fusion network. We show that our approach is robust towards inaccurate camera calibration and dynamic camera setups.

• Abstract: Detecting objects and estimating their 6D poses is essential for automated systems to interact safely with the environment. Most 6D pose estimators, however, rely on a single camera frame and suffer from occlusions and ambiguities due to object symmetries. We overcome this issue by presenting a novel symmetry-aware multi-view 6D pose estimator called SyMFM6D. Our approach efficiently fuses the RGB-D frames from multiple perspectives in a deep multi-directional fusion network and predicts predefined keypoints for all objects in the scene simultaneously. Based on the keypoints and an instance semantic segmentation, we efficiently compute the 6D poses by least-squares fitting. To address the ambiguity issues for symmetric objects, we propose a novel training procedure for symmetry-aware keypoint detection including a new objective function. Our SyMFM6D network significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art in both single-view and multi-view 6D pose estimation. We furthermore show the effectiveness of our symmetry-aware training procedure and demonstrate that our approach is robust towards inaccurate camera calibration and dynamic camera setups.

  We address the task of estimating 6D camera poses from sparse-view image sets (2-8 images) We build on the recent RelPose framework which learns a network that infers distributions over relative rotations over image pairs. Our final system results in large improvements in 6D pose prediction over prior art on both seen and unseen object categories.

  We present a novel multi-view 6D pose estimation method called MV6D. We base our approach on the PVN3D network that uses a single RGB-D image to predict keypoints of the target objects. In contrast to current multi-view pose detection networks such as CosyPose, our MV6D can learn the fusion of multiple perspectives in an end-to-end manner.

  This paper studies the complex task of simultaneous multi-object 3D reconstruction, 6D pose and size estimation from a single-view RGB-D observation. Existing approaches mainly follow a complex multi-stage pipeline which first localizes and detects each object instance in the image and then regresses to either their 3D meshes or 6D poses. We present a simple one-stage approach to predict both the 3D shape and estimate the 6D pose and size jointly in a bounding-box free manner.

  We propose a new method for 6D pose estimation refinement from RGB images. Our main insight is that after the initial pose estimate, it is important to pay attention to distinct spatial features of the object. We experimentally show that this approach learns to attend to salient spatial features and learns to ignore occluded parts of the object, leading to better pose estimation across datasets.
