Linear-Covariance Loss for End-to-End Learning of 6D Pose Estimation

Most modern image-based 6D object pose estimation methods learn to predict 2D-3D correspondences, from which the pose can be obtained using a PnP solver. Because of the non-differentiable nature of common PnP solvers, these methods are supervised via the i ...

Rigidity-Aware Detection for 6D Object Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Yinlin Hu, Jingyu Li, Rui Song

Most recent 6D object pose estimation methods first use object detection to obtain 2D bounding boxes before actually regressing the pose. However, the general object detection methods they use are ill-suited to handle cluttered scenes, thus producing poor ...

Knowledge Distillation for 6D Pose Estimation by Aligning Distributions of Local Predictions

Mathieu Salzmann, Shuxuan Guo, Yinlin Hu

Knowledge distillation facilitates the training of a compact student network by using a deep teacher one. While this has achieved great success in many tasks, it remains completely unstudied for image-based 6D object pose estimation. In this work, we intro ...

Templates for 3D Object Pose Estimation Revisited: Generalization to New Objects and Robustness to Occlusions

Mathieu Salzmann, Vincent Lepetit, Yinlin Hu, Van Nguyen Nguyen, Yang Xiao

We present a method that can recognize new objects and estimate their 3D pose in RGB images even under partial occlusions. Our method requires neither a training phase on these objects nor real images depicting them, only their CAD models. It relies on a s ...

A Stepwise Domain Adaptive Segmentation Network With Covariate Shift Alleviation for Remote Sensing Imagery

Yinlin Hu, Yunpeng Li, Jingyu Li, Rui Song

Semantic segmentation for remote sensing images (RSI) is critical for the Earth monitoring system. However, the covariate shift between RSI datasets under different capture conditions cannot be alleviated by directly using the unsupervised domain adaptatio ...

Robust Differentiable SVD

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang, Wei Wang, Yinlin Hu

Eigendecomposition of symmetric matrices is at the heart of many computer vision algorithms. However, the derivatives of the eigenvectors tend to be numerically unstable, whether using the SVD to compute them analytically or using the Power Iteration (PI) ...

Wide-Depth-Range 6D Object Pose Estimation in Space

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Yinlin Hu

6D pose estimation in space poses unique challenges that are not commonly encountered in the terrestrial setting. One of the most striking differences is the lack of atmospheric scattering, allowing objects to be visible from a great distance while complic ...

SD-Pose: Semantic Decomposition for Cross-Domain 6D Object Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Yinlin Hu, Zhigang Li

The current leading 6D object pose estimation methods rely heavily on annotated real data, which is highly costly to acquire. To overcome this, many works have proposed to introduce computer-generated synthetic data. However, bridging the gap between the s ...

Eigendecomposition-Free Training of Deep Networks for Linear Least-Square Problems

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang, Kwang Moo Yi, Fei Wang, Yinlin Hu

Many classical Computer Vision problems, such as essential matrix computation and pose estimation from 3D to 2D correspondences, can be tackled by solving a linear least-square problem, which can be done by finding the eigenvector corresponding to the smal ...
