  • Patent number: 12062200
    Abstract: A method comprising applying an object recognition pipeline to frames of video data. The object recognition pipeline provides a mask output of objects detected in the frames. The method includes fusing the mask output of the object recognition pipeline with depth data associated with the frames of video data to generate a map of object instances, including projecting the mask output to a model space for the map of object instances using a camera pose estimate and the depth data. An object instance in the map of object instances is defined using surface-distance metric values within a three-dimensional object volume, and has an object pose estimate indicating a transformation of the object instance to the model space. The object pose estimate and the camera pose estimate form nodes of a pose graph for the map of model instances.
