   GenPose: Generative Category-level Object Pose Estimation via Diffusion Models

   Abs Bib PDF Website Code 机器之心

   We explore a pure generative approach to tackle the multi-hypothesis issue in 6D Category-level Object Pose Estimation. The key idea is to generate pose candidates using a score-based diffusion model and filter out outliers using an energy-based diffusion model. By aggregating the remaining candidates, we can obtain a robust and high-quality output pose.

   TarGF: Learning Target Gradient Field to Rearrange Objects without Explicit Goal Specification

   Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, 2022

   Abs Bib PDF WebsiteCode

   We study object rearrangement without explicit goal specification. The agent is given examples from a target distribution and aims at rearranging objects to increase the likelihood of the distribution. Our key idea is to learn a target gradient field that indicates the fastest direction to increase the likelihood from examples via score-matching.
