Abstract

Object pose estimation is important for systems and robots to interact with the environment where the main challenge of this task is the complexity of the scene caused by occlusions and clutters. A key challenge is performing pose estimation leveraging on both RGB and depth information: prior works either extract information from the RGB image and depth separately or use costly post-processing steps, limiting their performances in highly cluttered scenes and real-time applications. Traditionally, the pose estimation problem is tackled by matching feature points between 3D models and images. However, these methods require rich textured models. In recent years, the raising of deep learning has offered an increasing number of methods based on neural networks, such as DSAC++, PoseCNN, DenseFusion and SingleShotPose. In this work, we present a comparison between two recent algorithms, DSAC++ and DenseFusion, focusing on computational cost, performance and applicability in the industry.
