ShapeY is a benchmarking framework that evaluates shape-based recognition in object recognition systems using 68,200 grayscale images of 200 3D objects rendered from multiple viewpoints, with optional appearance changes. It employs a nearest‑neighbor matching task to probe how well an embedding space clusters views by 3D shape similarity across varying viewpoints and non‑shape alterations, providing quantitative and qualitative performance readouts such as error rates, viewpoint tuning curves, and matching score histograms. Testing 321 pre‑trained networks shows that even state‑of‑the‑art models struggle to generalize robustly across 3D viewpoint and appearance changes, highlighting gaps in current shape recognition capabilities.

SemGeo-Gen is an unsupervised approach that generates approximate cross‑instance semantic‑geometric correspondences from weakly aligned 3D object collections. It uses coarse category‑level rotation alignment, lifts multi‑view DINOv2 features to 3D, applies continuous piecewise‑affine registration, and prunes matches with semantic consistency to produce 3D correspondences that can be projected into 2D views for scalable supervision. The method achieves high accuracy against human annotations and improves state‑of‑the‑art semantic correspondence models after synthetic pretraining.

Category-level object pose estimation seeks to recover a similarity transform $(R,t,s)$ for unseen instances without instance-specific CAD models. Most competitive methods are correspondence-based: pr...
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.

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.

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.
