ASM-6D: Fast Certified Pose-Shape Inference with Complete Correspondence Flow Maps

We present ASM-6D, which couples generative complete-geometry prediction with explicit category-level pose-shape inference through shared correspondences.

Key points

  • Category-level 6D pose and shape estimation requires recovering an object's pose and geometry from partial observations without an exact instance model.
  • Given an RGB-D image, ASM-6D generates alternative complete 3D correspondence hypotheses whose point identities are shared with a category-level Active Shape Model (ASM), including occluded points.
  • We analytically eliminate translation and shape coefficients, reducing fitting to a nine-variable scaled-rotation optimization problem that enables efficient batched evaluation of multiple hypotheses in real time.
  • Ablations demonstrate the importance of generative correspondence prediction and active shape variation.
