3D Object Class Detection in the Wild
Object class detection has been a synonym for 2D bounding box localization
for the longest time, fueled by the success of powerful statistical learning
techniques, combined with robust image representations. Only recently, there
has been a growing interest in revisiting the promise of computer vision from
the early days: to precisely delineate the contents of a visual scene, object
by object, in 3D. In this paper, we draw from recent advances in object
detection and 2D-3D object lifting in order to design an object class detector
that is particularly tailored towards 3D object class detection. Our 3D object
class detection method consists of several stages gradually enriching the
object detection output with object viewpoint, keypoints and 3D shape
estimates. Following careful design, in each stage it constantly improves the
performance and achieves state-ofthe-art performance in simultaneous 2D
bounding box and viewpoint estimation on the challenging Pascal3D+ dataset
Convolutional Networks for Object Category and 3D Pose Estimation from 2D Images
Current CNN-based algorithms for recovering the 3D pose of an object in an
image assume knowledge about both the object category and its 2D localization
in the image. In this paper, we relax one of these constraints and propose to
solve the task of joint object category and 3D pose estimation from an image
assuming known 2D localization. We design a new architecture for this task
composed of a feature network that is shared between subtasks, an object
categorization network built on top of the feature network, and a collection of
category dependent pose regression networks. We also introduce suitable loss
functions and a training method for the new architecture. Experiments on the
challenging PASCAL3D+ dataset show state-of-the-art performance in the joint
categorization and pose estimation task. Moreover, our performance on the joint
task is comparable to the performance of state-of-the-art methods on the
simpler 3D pose estimation with known object category task
