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
Furniture models learned from the WWW: using web catalogs to locate and categorize unknown furniture pieces in 3D laser scans
In this article, we investigate how autonomous robots can exploit the high quality information already available from the WWW concerning 3-D models of office furniture. Apart from the hobbyist effort in Google 3-D Warehouse, many companies providing office furnishings already have the models for considerable portions of the objects found in our workplaces and homes. In particular, we present an approach that allows a robot to learn generic models of typical office furniture using examples found in the Web. These generic models are then used by the robot to locate and categorize unknown furniture in real indoor environments
3D Object Reconstruction from Imperfect Depth Data Using Extended YOLOv3 Network
State-of-the-art intelligent versatile applications provoke the usage of full 3D, depth-based streams, especially in the scenarios of intelligent remote control and communications, where virtual and augmented reality will soon become outdated and are forecasted to be replaced by point cloud streams providing explorable 3D environments of communication and industrial data. One of the most novel approaches employed in modern object reconstruction methods is to use a priori knowledge of the objects that are being reconstructed. Our approach is different as we strive to reconstruct a 3D object within much more difficult scenarios of limited data availability. Data stream is often limited by insufficient depth camera coverage and, as a result, the objects are occluded and data is lost. Our proposed hybrid artificial neural network modifications have improved the reconstruction results by 8.53 which allows us for much more precise filling of occluded object sides and reduction of noise during the process. Furthermore, the addition of object segmentation masks and the individual object instance classification is a leap forward towards a general-purpose scene reconstruction as opposed to a single object reconstruction task due to the ability to mask out overlapping object instances and using only masked object area in the reconstruction process
Multi-View Deep Learning for Consistent Semantic Mapping with RGB-D Cameras
Visual scene understanding is an important capability that enables robots to
purposefully act in their environment. In this paper, we propose a novel
approach to object-class segmentation from multiple RGB-D views using deep
learning. We train a deep neural network to predict object-class semantics that
is consistent from several view points in a semi-supervised way. At test time,
the semantics predictions of our network can be fused more consistently in
semantic keyframe maps than predictions of a network trained on individual
views. We base our network architecture on a recent single-view deep learning
approach to RGB and depth fusion for semantic object-class segmentation and
enhance it with multi-scale loss minimization. We obtain the camera trajectory
using RGB-D SLAM and warp the predictions of RGB-D images into ground-truth
annotated frames in order to enforce multi-view consistency during training. At
test time, predictions from multiple views are fused into keyframes. We propose
and analyze several methods for enforcing multi-view consistency during
training and testing. We evaluate the benefit of multi-view consistency
training and demonstrate that pooling of deep features and fusion over multiple
views outperforms single-view baselines on the NYUDv2 benchmark for semantic
segmentation. Our end-to-end trained network achieves state-of-the-art
performance on the NYUDv2 dataset in single-view segmentation as well as
multi-view semantic fusion.Comment: the 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and
