Smartphones, tablets and camera systems used, e.g., in cars and UAVs, are typically equipped with IMUs (inertial measurement units) that can measure the gravity vector accurately. Using this additional information, the $y$-axes of the…

Pose estimation is usually tackled as either a bin classification or a regression problem. In both cases, the idea is to directly predict the pose of an object. This is a non-trivial task due to appearance variations between similar poses…
