• Abstract: We present a generic algorithm for scoring pose estimation methods that rely on single image semantic analysis. The algorithm employs a lightweight putative shape representation using a combination of multiple Gaussian Processes. Each Gaussian Process (GP) yields distance normal distributions from multiple reference points in the object's coordinate system to its surface, thus providing a geometric evaluation framework for scoring predicted poses. Our confidence measure comprises the average mixture probability of pixel back-projections onto the shape template. In the reported experiments, we compare the accuracy of our GP based representation of objects versus the actual geometric models and demonstrate the ability of our method to capture the influence of outliers as opposed to the corresponding intrinsic measures that ship with the segmentation and pose estimation methods.

• Structure-Aware Correspondence Learning for Relative Pose Estimation [65.44234975976451]
  Relative pose estimation provides a promising way for achieving object-agnostic pose estimation. Existing 3D correspondence-based methods suffer from small overlaps in visible regions and unreliable feature estimation for invisible regions. We propose a novel Structure-Aware Correspondence Learning method for Relative Pose Estimation, which consists of two key modules.

  A new correspondence-free pose estimation method and its practical algorithms are proposed.

The proposed method is applicable to nonlinear transformations such as perspective projection and can cover various pose estimations from 3D-to-3D points, 3D-to-2D points, and 2D-to-2D points.
