Publication number: 20230019499Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining a pose of each of a plurality of objects includes, for each given object: using image data and associated depth information to estimate a pose of the given object. The method includes iteratively updating the estimated poses by: sampling, for each given object, a plurality of points from a predetermined model of the given object transformed in accordance with the estimated pose of the given object; determining first occupancy data for each given object dependent on positions of the points sampled from the predetermined model, relative to a voxel grid containing the given object; determining second occupancy data for each given object dependent on positions of the points sampled from the predetermined models of the other objects, relative to the voxel grid containing the given object; and updating the estimated poses of the plurality of objects to reduce an occupancy penalty.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Kentaro WADA, Edgar Antonio SUCAR ESCAMILLA, Stephen Lloyd JAMES, Daniel James LENTON, Andrew DAVISON
