A method for labeling a spherical target includes receiving an input including a representation of an object. The method also includes estimating unconstrained coordinates corresponding to the object. The method further includes estimating coordinates on a sphere by applying a spherical exponential activation function to the unconstrained coordinates. The method also associates the input with a set of values corresponding to a spherical target based on the estimated coordinates on the sphere.

A method aligns, with an artificial neural network, a three-dimensional (3D) model to an object in a 2D image. The method includes detecting, with an object detector, the object from the 2D image. The method also includes estimating a geodesic distance value between the object and multiple discretized poses of the 3D model. The method further includes selecting a discretized pose of the multiple discretized poses corresponding to a smallest geodesic distance value. The method still further includes propagating pose parameters of the selected discretized pose of the 3D model to the object.
