• Authors: Matteo Tesori, Giorgio Battistelli, Luigi Chisci,
• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a framework based on linear splines for 2-dimensional extended object tracking and classification. An exact likelihood is derived for the case in which noisy measurements can be scattered from any point on the contour of the extended object. Exploiting such likelihood to measure how well the observed data fit a given shape, a suitable estimator is developed.

• Abstract: This paper introduces a framework based on linear splines for 2-dimensional extended object tracking and classification. Unlike state of the art models, linear splines allow to represent extended objects whose contour is an arbitrarily complex curve. An exact likelihood is derived for the case in which noisy measurements can be scattered from any point on the contour of the extended object, while an approximate Monte Carlo likelihood is provided for the case wherein scattering points can be anywhere, i.e. inside or on the contour, on the object surface. Exploiting such likelihood to measure how well the observed data fit a given shape, a suitable estimator is developed. The proposed estimator models the extended object in terms of a kinematic state, providing object position and orientation, along with a shape vector, characterizing object contour and surface. The kinematic state is estimated via a nonlinear Kalman filter, while the shape vector is estimated via a Bayesian classifier so that classification is implicitly solved during shape estimation. Numerical experiments are provided to assess, compared to state of the art extended object estimators, the effectiveness of the proposed one.

  Category-level object pose estimation aims to determine the pose and size of novel objects in specific categories. Existing correspondence-based approaches typically adopt point-based representations to establish the correspondences between primitive observed points and normalized object coordinates. We introduce a novel architecture called SpherePose, which yields precise correspondence prediction through three core designs.

  Category-level object pose estimation aims to predict the 6D pose as well as the 3D metric size of arbitrary objects from a known set of categories. Recent methods harness shape prior adaptation to map the observed point cloud into the canonical space and apply Umeyama algorithm to recover the pose and size. We propose a novel geometry-guided Residual Object Bounding Box Projection network RBP-Pose that jointly predicts object pose and residual vectors.
