• Abstract summary: We propose a Pose-refined Rotation Averaging Graph Optimization (PRAGO) method for differentiable estimating camera poses from a set of images. Our method reconstructs the rotational pose, and in turn, the absolute pose, in a differentiable manner benefiting from the optimization of a sequence of geometrical tasks. We show that PRAGO is able to outperform non-differentiable solvers on small and sparse scenes extracted from 7-Scenes achieving a relative improvement of 21% for rotations while achieving similar translation estimates.

• Abstract: Robustly estimating camera poses from a set of images is a fundamental task which remains challenging for differentiable methods, especially in the case of small and sparse camera pose graphs. To overcome this challenge, we propose Pose-refined Rotation Averaging Graph Optimization (PRAGO). From a set of objectness detections on unordered images, our method reconstructs the rotational pose, and in turn, the absolute pose, in a differentiable manner benefiting from the optimization of a sequence of geometrical tasks. We show how our objectness pose-refinement module in PRAGO is able to refine the inherent ambiguities in pairwise relative pose estimation without removing edges and avoiding making early decisions on the viability of graph edges. PRAGO then refines the absolute rotations through iterative graph construction, reweighting the graph edges to compute the final rotational pose, which can be converted into absolute poses using translation averaging. We show that PRAGO is able to outperform non-differentiable solvers on small and sparse scenes extracted from 7-Scenes achieving a relative improvement of 21% for rotations while achieving similar translation estimates.

  We introduce a novel methodology that extends Pose Graph Optimization techniques. We consider the bipartite graph encompassing cameras, object poses evolving dynamically, and camera-object relative transformations at each time step. Our framework retains compatibility with traditional PGO solvers, but its efficacy benefits from a custom-tailored optimization scheme.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses.

Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  Object pose estimation is an integral part of robot vision and AR. Previous 6D pose retrieval pipelines treat the problem either as a regression task or discretize the pose space to classify. We change this paradigm and reformulate the problem as an action decision process where an initial pose is updated in incremental discrete steps. A neural network estimates likely moves from a single RGB image iteratively and determines so an acceptable final pose.
