Pos3R: 6D Pose Estimation for Unseen Objects Made Easy
CVPR 2025 // 2025
A method for estimating the 6D pose of any object from a single RGB image, making extensive use of a 3D reconstruction foundation model and requiring no additional training.
Differentiable Neural Surface Refinement (TNSR)
CVPR 2024 // 2024
Introduces transparent neural surface refinement explicitly incorporating physical refraction and reflection tracing.
Ray Deformation Networks
WACV 2024 // 2024
Deformable networks to learn tailored deformation fields for refractive objects in NeRF frameworks.
