Deep_Object_Pose VS CenterPose

I've been doing some research in this area and there are a few deep learning solutions to this problem. For example, NVIDIA's Deep Object Pose Estimation will estimate the 6DOF pose of a known object. But you'll have to train the network if you want to detect a new object. PoseCNN, which someone else mentioned, does a similar thing. CenterPose is more interesting, as it can estimate then pose of an object from a known category; e.g. sneakers, or laptops, rather that one specific object (as DOPE and PoseCNN do).

For our last event of ArchE Week, the Ohio State Underwater Robotics Team (Website, Instagram) is hosting a workshop tonight on machine learning! The workshop is an interactive walkthrough of using machine learning solutions to make predictions. Some example problems we could be trying to solve are predicting a grade, predicting the weather, and the classic recognize a digit problem. Our team personally uses machine learning to do real-time object detection with YOLO and NVidia DOPE, so we may touch on that as well!

If you want the poses of unknown objects within known categories (e.g. "shoe" or "laptop") there are several deep learning approaches. Here's one I'm currently experimenting with: https://github.com/NVlabs/CenterPose
