Object Pose Estimation via the Aggregation of Diffusion Features

<h2>CVPR 2024 Highlight</h2>

</div> <div align="justify"> Abstract: Estimating the pose of objects from images is a crucial task of 3D scene understanding, and recent approaches have shown promising results on very large benchmarks. However, these methods experience a significant performance drop when dealing with unseen objects. We believe that it results from the limited generalizability of image features. To address this problem, we have an in-depth analysis on the features of diffusion models, e.g. Stable Diffusion, which hold substantial potential for modeling unseen objects. Based on this analysis, we then innovatively introduce these diffusion features for object pose estimation. To achieve this, we propose three distinct architectures that can effectively capture and aggregate diffusion features of different granularity, greatly improving the generalizability of object pose estimation. Our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by a considerable margin on three popular benchmark datasets, LM, O-LM, and T-LESS. In particular, our method achieves higher accuracy than the previous best arts on unseen objects: 98.2% vs. 93.5% on Unseen LM, 85.9% vs. 76.3% on Unseen O-LM, showing the strong generalizability of our method. </div>

1. Download datasets:

Download with following gdrive links and unzip them in ./dataset. We use the same data as template-pose.

2. Process ground-truth poses

Convert the coordinate system to BOP datasets format and save GT poses of each object separately:

python -m data.process_gt_linemod
python -m data.process_gt_tless

3. Render templates

To render templates:

python -m data.render_templates --dataset linemod --disable_output --num_workers 4
python -m data.render_templates --dataset tless --disable_output --num_workers 4

4. Crop images (only for LINEMOD)

Crop images of LINEMOD, OcclusionLINEMOD and its templates with GT poses:

python -m data.crop_image_linemod

5. Compute neighbors with GT poses

python -m data.create_dataframe_linemod
python -m data.create_dataframe_tless --split train
python -m data.create_dataframe_tless --split test
