Fork README

For Spot-sim2real setup follow these steps:

Download all network weights from here and put them under the folder `weights/
Setup & test the demo sh run_env_setup.sh
To run our custom pose estimation server for spot-sim2real run CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python run_pose_estimation_service.py or sh run_pose_estimation_service.sh
Download nerf meshes from slack; current objects [bottle, penguin & cup] & place it in the spot_rl_experiments/weights folder
Make sure you are not running any other service on port 2100, if you want to change the port please change it in config.yaml in spot-sim2real field name 'POSE_PORT'

FoundationPose: Unified 6D Pose Estimation and Tracking of Novel Objects

This is the official implementation of our paper to be appeared in CVPR 2024 (Highlight)

Contributors: Bowen Wen, Wei Yang, Jan Kautz, Stan Birchfield

We present FoundationPose, a unified foundation model for 6D object pose estimation and tracking, supporting both model-based and model-free setups. Our approach can be instantly applied at test-time to a novel object without fine-tuning, as long as its CAD model is given, or a small number of reference images are captured. We bridge the gap between these two setups with a neural implicit representation that allows for effective novel view synthesis, keeping the downstream pose estimation modules invariant under the same unified framework. Strong generalizability is achieved via large-scale synthetic training, aided by a large language model (LLM), a novel transformer-based architecture, and contrastive learning formulation. Extensive evaluation on multiple public datasets involving challenging scenarios and objects indicate our unified approach outperforms existing methods specialized for each task by a large margin. In addition, it even achieves comparable results to instance-level methods despite the reduced assumptions.

🥇 No. 1 on the world-wide BOP leaderboard (as of 2024/03) for model-based novel object pose estimation. <img src="assets/bop.jpg" width="80%">

Data prepare

Download all network weights from here and put them under the folder weights/
Download demo data and extract them under the folder demo_data/
[Optional] Download our large-scale training data: "FoundationPose Dataset"
[Optional] Download our preprocessed reference views here in order to run model-free few-shot version.

Env setup option 1: docker (recommended)

cd docker/
docker pull wenbowen123/foundationpose && docker tag wenbowen123/foundationpose foundationpose  # Or to build from scratch: docker build --network host -t foundationpose .
bash docker/run_container.sh

If it's the first time you launch the container, you need to build extensions.

bash build_all.sh

Later you can execute into the container without re-build.

docker exec -it foundationpose bash

For more recent GPU such as 4090, refer to this.

Env setup option 2: conda (experimental)

Setup conda environment

# create conda environment
# Download weights prior to this
# creates the environment & runs demo
sh run_env_setup.sh
Press Ctrl+C to terminate the demo run

Run model-based demo

The paths have been set in argparse by default. If you need to change the scene, you can pass the args accordingly. By running on the demo data, you should be able to see the robot manipulating the mustard bottle. Pose estimation is conducted on the first frame, then it automatically switches to tracking mode for the rest of the video. The resulting visualizations will be saved to the debug_dir specified in the argparse. (Note the first time running could be slower due to online compilation)

python run_demo.py

Feel free to try on other objects (no need to retrain) such as driller, by changing the paths in argparse.

Run on public datasets (LINEMOD, YCB-Video)

For this you first need to download LINEMOD dataset and YCB-Video dataset.

To run model-based version on these two datasets respectively, set the paths based on where you download. The results will be saved to debug folder

python run_linemod.py --linemod_dir /mnt/9a72c439-d0a7-45e8-8d20-d7a235d02763/DATASET/LINEMOD --use_reconstructed_mesh 0

python run_ycb_video.py --ycbv_dir /mnt/9a72c439-d0a7-45e8-8d20-d7a235d02763/DATASET/YCB-Video --use_reconstructed_mesh 0

To run model-free few-shot version. You first need to train Neural Object Field. ref_view_dir is based on where you download in the above "Data prepare" section. Set the dataset flag to your interested dataset.

python bundlesdf/run_nerf.py --ref_view_dir /mnt/9a72c439-d0a7-45e8-8d20-d7a235d02763/DATASET/YCB_Video/bowen_addon/ref_views_16 --dataset ycbv

Then run the similar command as the model-based version with some small modifications. Here we are using YCB-Video as example:

python run_ycb_video.py --ycbv_dir /mnt/9a72c439-d0a7-45e8-8d20-d7a235d02763/DATASET/YCB-Video --use_reconstructed_mesh 1 --ref_view_dir /mnt/9a72c439-d0a7-45e8-8d20-d7a235d02763/DATASET/YCB_Video/bowen_addon/ref_views_16

Training data download

Our training data include scenes using 3D assets from GSO and Objaverse, rendered with high quality photo-realism and large domain randomization. Each data point includes RGB, depth, object pose, camera pose, instance segmentation, 2D bounding box. [Google Drive]

Notes

Due to the legal restrictions of Stable-Diffusion that is trained on LAION dataset, we are not able to release the diffusion-based texture augmented data, nor the pretrained weights using it. We thus release the version without training on diffusion-augmented data. Slight performance degradation is expected.

We would like to thank Jeff Smith for helping with the code release; NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse team for the support on synthetic data generation; Tianshi Cao for the valuable discussions. Finally, we are also grateful for the positive feebacks and constructive suggestions brought up by reviewers and AC at CVPR.
