• Abstract: 6D Object pose estimation is a fundamental component in robotics enabling efficient interaction with the environment. It is particularly challenging in bin-picking applications, where objects may be textureless and in difficult poses, and occlusion between objects of the same type may cause confusion even in well-trained models. We propose a novel method of hard example synthesis that is model-agnostic, using existing simulators and the modeling of pose error in both the camera-to-object viewsphere and occlusion space. Through evaluation of the model performance with respect to the distribution of object poses and occlusions, we discover regions of high error and generate realistic training samples to specifically target these regions. With our training approach, we demonstrate an improvement in correct detection rate of up to 20% across several ROBI-dataset objects using state-of-the-art pose estimation models.

  Category-level pose estimation is a challenging task with many potential applications in computer vision and robotics. We propose to utilize both geometric and semantic features obtained from a pre-trained foundation model. This requires significantly less data to train than prior methods since the semantic features are robust to object texture and appearance.

  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.

  We present a new dataset for 6-DoF pose estimation of known objects, with a focus on robotic manipulation research. We provide 3D scanned textured models of toy grocery objects, as well as RGBD images of the objects in challenging, cluttered scenes. Using semi-automated RGBD-to-model texture correspondences, the images are annotated with ground truth poses that were verified empirically to be accurate to within a few millimeters. We also propose a new pose evaluation metric called ADD-H based upon the Hungarian assignment algorithm that is robust to symmetries in object geometry without requiring their explicit enumeration.
