Recovering 6D Object Pose: A Review and Multi-modal Analysis
A large number of studies analyse object detection and pose estimation at
visual level in 2D, discussing the effects of challenges such as occlusion,
clutter, texture, etc., on the performances of the methods, which work in the
context of RGB modality. Interpreting the depth data, the study in this paper
presents thorough multi-modal analyses. It discusses the above-mentioned
challenges for full 6D object pose estimation in RGB-D images comparing the
performances of several 6D detectors in order to answer the following
questions: What is the current position of the computer vision community for
maintaining "automation" in robotic manipulation? What next steps should the
community take for improving "autonomy" in robotics while handling objects? Our
findings include: (i) reasonably accurate results are obtained on
textured-objects at varying viewpoints with cluttered backgrounds. (ii) Heavy
existence of occlusion and clutter severely affects the detectors, and
similar-looking distractors is the biggest challenge in recovering instances'
6D. (iii) Template-based methods and random forest-based learning algorithms
underlie object detection and 6D pose estimation. Recent paradigm is to learn
deep discriminative feature representations and to adopt CNNs taking RGB images
as input. (iv) Depending on the availability of large-scale 6D annotated depth
datasets, feature representations can be learnt on these datasets, and then the
learnt representations can be customized for the 6D problem
