Object detection and pose estimation toolbox

This repository provides tools to evaluate performance of an object detection and pose estimation method. It is based on the methodology introduced in the article [1] that is suited for any rigid object and can deal with scenes of many object instances, potentially occluded.

This toolbox has been primarily designed for use with the Siléane Dataset but is generic and may be used with other datasets as well, provided with adapted ground truth annotations, and description of the object's geometry and symmetries (poseutils.json file).

Current features

Results format

Results to evaluate are expected to be stored in JSON format for each scene such as illustrated in examples/experiences, and to consist in a list of pose hypotheses described by a rigid transformation ("R", "t") and a an arbitrary confidence score "score" used to rank them (the higher the score, the higher the confidence in the hypothese). Other format may be used by providing a proper overloading the _load_results_list and _results_file_extension variables contained in evaluation_tools.py.

Dependencies

Python 3+, Matplotlib, Numpy.
