ConceptPose: Training-Free Zero-Shot Object Pose Estimation using Concept Vectors

CVPR 2026

Object pose estimation is a fundamental task in computer vision and robotics, yet most methods require extensive, dataset-specific training. Concurrently, large-scale vision language models show remarkable zero-shot capabilities. In this work, we bridge these two worlds by introducing ConceptPose, a

ESCAPE: Equivariant Shape Completion via Anchor Point Encoding

CVPR 2025poster

Shape completion, a crucial task in 3D computer vision, involves predicting and filling the missing regions of scanned or partially observed objects. Current methods expect known pose or canonical coordinates and do not perform well under varying rotations, limiting their real-world applicability. W…

Dynamic Hyperbolic Attention Network for Fine Hand-object Reconstruction

ICCV 2023poster

Reconstructing both objects and hands in 3D from a single RGB image is complex. Existing methods rely on manually defined hand-object constraints in Euclidean space, leading to suboptimal feature learning. Compared with Euclidean space, hyperbolic space better preserves the geometric properties of m…

Rotation-Invariant Transformer for Point Cloud Matching

CVPR 2023poster

The intrinsic rotation invariance lies at the core of matching point clouds with handcrafted descriptors. However, it is widely despised by recent deep matchers that obtain the rotation invariance extrinsically via data augmentation. As the finite number of augmented rotations can never span the con…

Bending Graphs: Hierarchical Shape Matching Using Gated Optimal Transport

CVPR 2022poster

Shape matching has been a long-studied problem for the computer graphics and vision community. The objective is to predict a dense correspondence between meshes that have a certain degree of deformation. Existing methods either consider the local description of sampled points or discover corresponde…
