6D object pose estimation aims to infer the relative pose between the object and the camera using a single image or multiple images. Most works have focused on predicting the object pose without associated uncertainty under occlusion and…

Accurately estimating 3D hand pose is crucial for understanding how humans interact with the world. Despite remarkable progress, existing methods often struggle to generate plausible hand poses when the hand is heavily occluded or blurred.…

For a humanoid robot to make eye contact and initiate communication with a person, it is necessary to estimate the person's head position. However, eye contact becomes difficult due to the mechanical delay of the robot when the person is…
