A key challenge in model-free category-level pose estimation is the extraction of contextual object features that generalize across varying instances within a specific category. Recent approaches leverage foundational features to capture semantic and geometry cues from data. However, these approache…
Typical template-based object pose pipelines estimate the pose by retrieving the closest matching template and aligning it with the observed image. However, failure to retrieve the correct template often leads to inaccurate pose predictions. To address this, we reformulate template-based object pose…
Recent advances in the field of 6D pose estimation of unseen objects not present during training are promising, however, the performance gap between these general methods and object-specific methods remains significant. This paper introduces an innovative unsupervised test-time adaptation method, te
"Object pose distribution estimation is crucial in robotics for better path planning and handling of symmetric objects. Recent distribution estimation approaches employ contrastive learning-based approaches by maximizing the likelihood of a single pose estimate in the absence of a CAD model. We prop…
Recent learning methods for object pose estimation require resource-intensive training for each individual object instance or category hampering their scalability in real applications when confronted with previously unseen objects. In this paper we propose MatchU a Fuse-Describe-Match strategy for 6…
We introduce the concept of geometric stability to the problem of 6D object pose estimation and propose to learn pose inference based on geometrically stable patches extracted from observed 3D point clouds. According to the theory of geometric stability analysis, a minimal set of three planar/cylind…
