CLON: Cue-Calibrated Linguistic Object Onboarding for Zero-Shot 6D Pose Front-Ends

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

CLON (Cue‑Calibrated Linguistic Object Onboarding) is a zero‑shot front‑end for 6D pose estimation that requires no task‑specific training for new objects. It builds a linguistic semantic memory from rendered templates to generate high‑recall proposals and computes fixed cue weights to calibrate proposal scoring. On seven BOP‑Classic‑Core datasets, CLON boosts detection AP by 8.1 pp, segmentation AP by 6.2 pp, and downstream 6D pose AR by up to 4.1 pp compared to existing front‑ends.

RYOPO: Bringing End-to-End Category-Level Object Pose Estimation into Real Time

RYOPO is an end‑to‑end query‑based RGB‑D set predictor that jointly detects, segments, and estimates 9‑DoF poses of unseen instances within known categories without relying on external instance segmentation or CAD priors. It uses shared image and scene encoding, a query‑conditioned geometry pathway, and object‑centric refinement with pose‑conditioned cross‑attention to achieve accurate pose estimation. On benchmark datasets such as NOCS, REAL275, and HouseCat6D, RYOPO outperforms published methods and runs in real time at 31.8 FPS on an RTX A6000.

Towards Open-World Referring Expression Comprehension: A Benchmark with Training-free Multi-task Consistency Checker

The paper introduces OpenRef, a benchmark for Referring Expression Comprehension (REC) designed for open‑world scenarios. OpenRef expands beyond simple settings by including diverse visual domains, variable target counts (multi‑target and none‑target), and a rich vocabulary with proper nouns, polysemous words, and ordinal terms. It also proposes new evaluation metrics—F1 for grounding accuracy and N3R for negative expression rejection—and presents a training‑free Multi‑task Consistency Checker (MCC) that improves model performance with a single click.
