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.

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.

SceneReGen: Generative Reconstruction of 3D Scenes from a Single Image

SceneReGen is a new framework for reconstructing 3D scenes from a single image by generating and assembling complete object meshes within a shared observation‑aligned scene frame. It uses selective pose factorization to encode each object’s observed orientation directly into the generated mesh, while estimating translation and scale from instance‑level and global scene cues. Evaluated on the 3D‑FUTURE dataset, SceneReGen outperforms existing methods on scene‑level metrics and shows strong performance on object‑level metrics, demonstrating its effectiveness in autonomous‑driving and embodied‑AI scenarios.

Category Level 6D Object Pose Estimation from a Single RGB Image using Diffusion

The paper presents a generative framework that estimates category-level 6D pose and 3D size of objects from a single RGB image, using score-based diffusion models to produce a multi-hypothesis pose distribution. It replaces costly likelihood pruning with a Mean Shift approach to isolate the mode as the final pose estimate, achieving state-of-the-art results on the REAL275 benchmark. The method also decouples detection from pose estimation, enabling robust zero-shot generalisation on the Wild6D dataset and extending naturally to video sequences by propagating the pose distribution over time.
