• Abstract summary: We propose a framework that can reconstruct high-quality object-level maps for unknown objects. Our approach takes multiple RGB-D images as input and outputs dense 3D shapes and 9-DoF poses for detected objects. We derive a probabilistic formulation that propagates shape and pose uncertainty through two novel loss functions.

• Abstract: 3D object-level mapping is a fundamental problem in robotics, which is especially challenging when object CAD models are unavailable during inference. In this work, we propose a framework that can reconstruct high-quality object-level maps for unknown objects. Our approach takes multiple RGB-D images as input and outputs dense 3D shapes and 9-DoF poses (including 3 scale parameters) for detected objects. The core idea of our approach is to leverage a learnt generative model for shape categories as a prior and to formulate a probabilistic, uncertainty-aware optimization framework for 3D reconstruction. We derive a probabilistic formulation that propagates shape and pose uncertainty through two novel loss functions. Unlike current state-of-the-art approaches, we explicitly model the uncertainty of the object shapes and poses during our optimization, resulting in a high-quality object-level mapping system. Moreover, the resulting shape and pose uncertainties, which we demonstrate can accurately reflect the true errors of our object maps, can also be useful for downstream robotics tasks such as active vision. We perform extensive evaluations on indoor and outdoor real-world datasets, achieving achieves substantial improvements over state-of-the-art methods. Our code will be available at https://github.com/TRAILab/UncertainShapePose.

  3D object reconstruction is important for semantic scene understanding. It is challenging to reconstruct detailed 3D shapes from monocular images directly due to a lack of depth information, occlusion and noise. We tackle this problem by leveraging a neural object representation which learns an object shape distribution from large dataset of 3d object models and maps it into a latent space. We propose a method to model uncertainty as part of the representation and define an uncertainty-aware encoder which generates latent codes with uncertainty directly from individual input images.

We present a next-best-view selection policy guided by the ray-based volumetric uncertainty in neural radiance fields-based representations.
