- Abstract: Perspective-$n$-Point (P$n$P) stands as a fundamental algorithm for pose
estimation in various applications. In this paper, we present a new approach to
the P$n$P problem with relaxed constraints, eliminating the need for precise 3D
coordinates or complete calibration data. We refer to it as AP$n$P due to its
ability to handle unknown anisotropic scaling factors of 3D coordinates or
alternatively two distinct focal lengths in addition to the conventional rigid
transformation. Through algebraic manipulations and a novel parametrization,
both cases are brought into similar forms that distinguish themselves primarily
by the order of a rotation and an anisotropic scaling operation. AP$n$P then
boils down to one unique polynomial problem, which is solved by the Gr\"obner
basis approach. Experimental results on both simulated and real datasets
demonstrate the effectiveness of AP$n$P as a more flexible and practical
solution to camera pose estimation. Code: https://github.com/goldoak/APnP.

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 introduce SNARF, which combines the advantages of linear blend skinning for polygonal meshes with neural implicit surfaces.
We propose a forward skinning model that finds all canonical correspondences of any deformed point using iterative root finding.
Compared to state-of-the-art neural implicit representations, our approach generalizes better to unseen poses while preserving accuracy.
