State-of-the-art object pose estimation handles multiple instances in a test image by using multi-model formulations: detection as a first stage and then separately trained networks per object for 2D-3D geometric correspondence prediction…

LiDAR-based 3D single object tracking is a challenging issue in robotics and autonomous driving. Currently, existing approaches usually suffer from the problem that objects at long distance often have very sparse or partially-occluded point…

SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector) is one of the most successful object detectors for its high accuracy and fast speed. However, the features from shallow layer (mainly Conv4_3) of SSD lack semantic information, resulting in poor…

Traditional deep learning-based visual imitation learning techniques require a large amount of demonstration data for model training, and the pre-trained models are difficult to adapt to new scenarios. To address these limitations, we…

In order to meaningfully interact with the world, robot manipulators must be able to interpret objects they encounter. A critical aspect of this interpretation is pose estimation: inferring quantities that describe the position and…

Existing pose estimation approaches fall into two categories: single-stage and multi-stage methods. While multi-stage methods are seemingly more suited for the task, their performance in current practice is not as good as single-stage…

Shape instantiation which predicts the 3D shape of a dynamic target from one or more 2D images is important for real-time intra-operative navigation. Previously, a general shape instantiation framework was proposed with manual image…

6D object pose estimation is a prerequisite for many applications. In recent years, monocular pose estimation has attracted much research interest because it does not need depth measurements. In this work, we introduce ConvPoseCNN, a fully…

Object tracking becomes critical especially when similar objects are present in the same area. Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches are proposed based on taking a matching network with a heavy structure to distinguish the target from…

In LiDAR-based 3D object detection for autonomous driving, the ratio of the object size to input scene size is significantly smaller compared to 2D detection cases. Overlooking this difference, many 3D detectors directly follow the common…

Most recent 6D pose estimation frameworks first rely on a deep network to establish correspondences between 3D object keypoints and 2D image locations and then use a variant of a RANSAC-based Perspective-n-Point (PnP) algorithm. This…
