Eigendecomposition-Free Training of Deep Networks for Linear Least-Square Problems

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Kwang Moo Yi, Yinlin Hu, Zheng Dang

Many classical Computer Vision problems, such as essential matrix computation and pose estimation from 3D to 2D correspondences, can be tackled by solving a linear least-square problem, which can be done by finding the eigenvector corresponding to the smal ...

Backpropagation-Friendly Eigendecomposition

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Wei Wang, Yinlin Hu, Zheng Dang

Eigendecomposition (ED) is widely used in deep networks. However, the backpropagation of its results tends to be numerically unstable, whether using ED directly or approximating it with the Power Iteration method, particularly when dealing with large matri ...

Eigendecomposition-free Training of Deep Networks with Zero Eigenvalue-based Losses

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Kwang Moo Yi, Yinlin Hu, Zheng Dang

Many classical Computer Vision problems, such as essential matrix computation and pose estimation from 3D to 2D correspondences, can be solved by ﬁnding the eigenvector corresponding to the smallest, or zero, eigenvalue of a matrix representing a linear sy ...

Match Normalization: Learning-Based Point Cloud Registration for 6D Object Pose Estimation in the Real World

Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang

In this work, we tackle the task of estimating the 6D pose of an object from point cloud data. While recent learning-based approaches have shown remarkable success on synthetic datasets, we have observed them to fail in the presence of real-world data. We ...

Robust Differentiable SVD

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Wei Wang, Yinlin Hu, Zheng Dang

Eigendecomposition of symmetric matrices is at the heart of many computer vision algorithms. However, the derivatives of the eigenvectors tend to be numerically unstable, whether using the SVD to compute them analytically or using the Power Iteration (PI) ...

AutoSynth: Learning to Generate 3D Training Data for Object Point Cloud Registration

Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang

In the current deep learning paradigm, the amount and quality of training data are as critical as the network architecture and its training details. However, collecting, processing, and annotating real data at scale is difficult, expensive, and time-consum ...

Center-Based Decoupled Point Cloud Registration for 6D Object Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Jiancheng Yang, Zheng Dang

In this paper, we propose a novel center-based decoupled point cloud registration framework for robust 6D object pose estimation in real-world scenarios. Our method decouples the translation from the entire transformation by predicting the object center an ...

Robust Outlier Rejection for 3D Registration with Variational Bayes

Mathieu Salzmann, Jiancheng Yang, Zheng Dang, Zhen Wei

Learning-based outlier (mismatched correspondence) rejection for robust 3D registration generally formulates the outlier removal as an inlier/outlier classification problem. The core for this to be successful is to learn the discriminative inlier/outlier f ...

Dvmnet: Computing Relative Pose for Unseen Objects Beyond Hypotheses

Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang, Chen Zhao

Determining the relative pose of an object between two images is pivotal to the success of generalizable object pose estimation. Existing approaches typically approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses, w ...

Multi-Source Fusion for Voxel-Based 7-DoF Grasping Pose Estimation

Zheng Dang

In this work, we tackle the problem of 7-DoF grasping pose estimation(6-DoF with the opening width of parallel-jaw gripper) from point cloud data, which is a fundamental task in robotic manipulation. Most existing methods adopt 3D voxel CNNs as the backbon ...
