• Abstract summary: The render-and-compare method renders the object from multiple views and compares it against the given 2D image. We show that if the object is represented as an implicit (neural) representation in the form of Neural Radiance Field (NeRF), it exhibits a more realistic rendering of the actual scene. We evaluated our NeRF implementation of the render-and-compare method on transparent datasets and found that it surpassed the current state-of-the-art results.

• Abstract: Object pose estimation is a prominent task in computer vision. The object pose gives the orientation and translation of the object in real-world space, which allows various applications such as manipulation, augmented reality, etc. Various objects exhibit different properties with light, such as reflections, absorption, etc. This makes it challenging to understand the object's structure in RGB and depth channels. Recent research has been moving toward learning-based methods, which provide a more flexible and generalizable approach to object pose estimation utilizing deep learning. One such approach is the render-and-compare method, which renders the object from multiple views and compares it against the given 2D image, which often requires an object representation in the form of a CAD model. We reason that the synthetic texture of the CAD model may not be ideal for rendering and comparing operations. We showed that if the object is represented as an implicit (neural) representation in the form of Neural Radiance Field (NeRF), it exhibits a more realistic rendering of the actual scene and retains the crucial spatial features, which makes the comparison more versatile. We evaluated our NeRF implementation of the render-and-compare method on transparent datasets and found that it surpassed the current state-of-the-art results.

  MegaPose is a method to estimate the 6D pose of novel objects, that is, objects unseen during training. We present a 6D pose refiner based on a render&compare strategy which can be applied to novel objects. Second, we introduce a novel approach for coarse pose estimation which leverages a network trained to classify whether the pose error between a synthetic rendering and an observed image of the same object can be corrected by the refiner.

Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.
