We present a novel technique to estimate the 6D pose of objects from single images where the 3D geometry of the object is only given approximately and not as a precise 3D model. To achieve this, we employ a dense 2D-to-3D correspondence…

Pose estimation is one of the most important problems in computer vision. It can be divided in two different categories -- absolute and relative -- and may involve two different types of camera models: central and non-central.…
