Geometry-Guided Modeling of Foundation Features Enables Generalizable Object Shape Deformation Learning

The paper introduces a generalizable deformation learning framework that reconstructs 3D objects by deforming a category-level shape template to match a monocular observation. It employs a geometry-guided feature modeling mechanism to enrich foundation features with template topology, creating a geometry-aware representation that is explicitly correlated with the target observation for precise deformation. A view-adaptive feature aggregation module further bridges the gap between the fixed template and arbitrary target views by leveraging multi-view template features and camera poses, ensuring robust feature alignment across diverse viewpoints.

TADP: Task-Aware Deformable Prediction for Single-Stage 3D Object Detection

The paper introduces TADP, a task‑aware deformable prediction framework for single‑stage 3D object detection. It employs a triple feature refinement aggregation module, a multi‑scale feature aggregation block, and a plug‑and‑play task‑aware deformation head to adaptively extract and fuse features for different detection tasks. Experiments on the KITTI dataset show that TADP achieves a car mAP of 80.91%, outperforming many state‑of‑the‑art methods.

GenCOPE: Syn2Real Generalized Category-Level Object Pose Estimation for Robotic Picking

GenCOPE introduces a synthetic-to-real (Syn2Real) approach for category-level object pose estimation (COPE) that eliminates the need for labor-intensive real-world data collection. By learning domain-invariant representations through 2D and 3D semantic consistency constraints and employing an end-to-end pose regression framework with 2D-3D cross consistency, the model achieves robust generalization across synthetic and real domains. The architecture relies solely on global features, resulting in a lightweight and efficient design validated on REAL275, Wild6D, and real-world robotic manipulation scenes.

FAMOS: Feed-Forward 3D Articulation Modeling from Sparse Observations

FAMOS is a feed‑forward model that predicts movable‑part segmentation and joint parameters from a sparse, unordered set of partial point clouds. It jointly reasons over multiple observations using a Multi‑state Articulation Transformer that alternates state‑wise and global attention, and introduces an observed articulation span objective to supervise motion ranges across inputs. A procedural data generator supplies self‑annotated assets for training, and experiments on PartNet‑Mobility, ACD, and ArtiCraft‑10K show consistent improvements over existing feed‑forward and optimization‑based baselines.

PriorPose: Reference-Guided Joint Deformation and Alignment for Category-Level Object Pose Estimation

PriorPose introduces a reference-guided correspondence framework for category-level object pose estimation that jointly performs canonicalization and alignment in a shared feature space. By embedding partial observations and a category prior as token sets in a seeded transformer, the network predicts per-point NOCS fields and a canonical deformation, while a deep pose head regresses the similarity transform. A two-part shape consistency objective couples correspondence, deformation, and pose, reducing reliance on memorized canonical orientations and avoiding error cascades, leading to state-of-the-art results on standard and larger-category benchmarks, especially under strict pose thresholds.

MessyKitchens: Contact-rich object-level 3D scene reconstruction

MessyKitchens introduces a new dataset of cluttered real-world kitchen scenes with detailed 3D object shapes, poses, and accurate contact information. The authors extend the SAM 3D single-object reconstruction method with a Multi-Object Decoder (MOD) to jointly reconstruct entire scenes, achieving better registration accuracy and reduced inter-object penetration compared to prior work. The dataset, benchmark, code, and pretrained models will be publicly released on the project website.

SUFLECA: Scaling Up Feature Learning for CAD-to-image Alignment

SUFLECA is a weakly supervised framework that improves zero‑shot CAD‑to‑image alignment by scaling geometry‑grounded feature learning using Normalized Object Coordinates across up to 12 real and synthetic datasets. It introduces a geometrically consistent matching algorithm that reliably establishes CAD‑to‑image correspondences, enabling accurate, sub‑second alignment without iterative pose refinement. On the ScanNet25k benchmark, SUFLECA achieves 32.8%/42.6% category/instance accuracy, outperforming the strongest zero‑shot baseline by 9.7/12.5 percentage points and surpassing existing pose‑supervised methods for the first time.

KeyGen: Unsupervised Keypoint based Object-Centric Representations for Category-Level Policy Generalization

KeyGen is a framework that learns canonical 3D keypoints from point clouds to create structured, object‑centric representations for policy learning in robotic manipulation. By conditioning a visuomotor diffusion policy on these keypoints and object geometry, it predicts full manipulation trajectories that maintain geometric correspondence across different object instances. Experiments on a photorealistic simulation benchmark with three tasks show that KeyGen outperforms prior methods on both seen and unseen objects, scales with more demonstrations, remains robust to rescaling, and performs well in real‑world manipulation.

G6D: Geometric Learning-Free RGB-D 6D Pose Solver for Robotic Manipulation

G6D is a learning‑free, geometry‑driven RGB‑D 6D pose solver designed for robotic manipulation. It generates pose hypotheses via template‑based geometric matching and refines them using silhouette and depth consistency, requiring only an RGB‑D observation, an object mask, camera intrinsics, and a CAD model. The method offers adjustable accuracy‑computation trade‑offs, can run on CPU without GPUs, and has shown strong performance on LineMOD and BOP19 datasets, as well as in real‑world pick‑and‑place experiments.

Geometry-Consistent Endoscopic Representations for Image-Guided Navigation via Structured Foundation Model Adaptation

arXiv:2606. 17340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate vision-based navigation in monocular endoscopy is difficult due to limited depth cues, weak tissue texture, non-rigid deformation, and substantial appearance variation across domains, all of which complicate pose estimation, depth prediction, and image-to-anatomy alignment.
