In logistics automation, precise segmentation of unseen objects is crucial for efficient robotic manipulation in cluttered environments. Tasks such as bin-picking and shelf-picking require robust perception to handle occlusions, varying object shapes, and complex spatial arrangements.
arXiv:2607. 17757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current bin picking methods that rely heavily on end-to-end learning often falter when confronted with unfamiliar or complex objects in unstructured environments.
The paper introduces a modular perception framework that uses vision‑language models (VLMs) to annotate object‑level regions from a single RGB‑D observation, then grounds these annotations with depth data to build an object‑centric representation. Experiments on 151 tabletop scenes demonstrate that this decomposition maintains strong semantic performance while significantly improving localization and depth estimation compared to direct VLM inference. The resulting representation is integrated into a task‑planning system for robotic manipulation.
TDFNet introduces a Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network that uses equirectangular, cube map, and tangent projections to mitigate geometric distortions in panoramic salient object detection. It incorporates a cross-projection deformable attention module for geometry-aware sampling and a latitude-guided fusion module that balances ERP and CMP features using spherical latitude priors. The network’s three-branch encoding preserves global continuity, local detail, and boundary precision, improving detection performance over existing projection-based methods.

AnyBox is a zero‑shot framework that estimates the full 9DoF pose (6D pose plus 3D dimensions) of boxes from a single RGB‑D image, leveraging the geometric regularity of boxes. It alternates between pose and scale estimation, using a binary search guided by the discrepancy between a reprojected template and the observed mask, and employs a depth‑consistency filter and an early‑stopping rule to prune implausible hypotheses. On public benchmarks and a warehouse dataset, AnyBox improves detection AP by up to 36 points and boosts robotic box‑shelving success by 28%.
