Deep Learning-Based Object Pose Estimation: A Comprehensive Survey

Introduction

This is the official repository of ''Deep Learning-Based Object Pose Estimation: A Comprehensive Survey''. Specifically, we first introduce the datasets used for object pose estimation. Then, we review the instance-level, category-level, and unseen methods, respectively. Finally, we summarize the common applications of this task. The taxonomy of this survey is shown as follows

A comparison of instance-level, category-level, and unseen methods is shown as follows. Instance-level methods can only estimate the pose of specific object instances on which they are trained. Category-level methods can infer intra-class unseen instances rather than being limited to specific instances in the training data. In contrast, unseen object pose estimation methods have stronger generalization ability and can handle object categories not encountered during training.

Datasets

Chronological overview of the datasets for object pose estimation evaluation. Notably, the pink arrows represent the BOP Challenge datasets, which can be used to evaluate both instance-level and unseen object methods. The red references represent the datasets of articulated objects.

Instance-Level

Instance-level object pose estimation describes the task of estimating the pose of the objects that have been seen during the training of the model. We classify existing instance-level methods into four categories: correspondence-based, template-based, voting-based, and regression-based methods.
