• Abstract summary: Occ$2$Net is an image matching method that models occlusion relations using 3D occupancy and infers matching points in occluded regions. We evaluate our method on both real-world and simulated datasets and demonstrate its superior performance over state-of-the-art methods on several metrics.

• Abstract: Image matching is a fundamental and critical task in various visual applications, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and image retrieval, which require accurate pose estimation. However, most existing methods ignore the occlusion relations between objects caused by camera motion and scene structure. In this paper, we propose Occ$^2$Net, a novel image matching method that models occlusion relations using 3D occupancy and infers matching points in occluded regions. Thanks to the inductive bias encoded in the Occupancy Estimation (OE) module, it greatly simplifies bootstrapping of a multi-view consistent 3D representation that can then integrate information from multiple views. Together with an Occlusion-Aware (OA) module, it incorporates attention layers and rotation alignment to enable matching between occluded and visible points. We evaluate our method on both real-world and simulated datasets and demonstrate its superior performance over state-of-the-art methods on several metrics, especially in occlusion scenarios.

  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.

  Learnable matchers often underperform when there exists only small regions of co-visibility between image pairs. We propose LFM-3D, a Learnable Feature Matching framework that uses models based on graph neural networks. We show that the resulting improved correspondences lead to much higher relative posing accuracy for in-the-wild image pairs.

  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.
