Abstract
A device determines positions of objects in a scene. The device obtains object detection data (ODD) which identifies the objects and locations of reference points of the objects in 2D images of the scene. The device processes the ODD to generate candidate association data (CAD) which associates pairs of objects between the images, computes estimated 3D positions in the scene for associated pairs of objects in the CAD, and performs clustering of the estimated positions. The device further generates, based on estimated 3D positions in one or more clusters, final association data (FAD) which associates one or more objects between the images, and computes one or more final 3D positions in the scene for one or more reference points of the one or more objects in the FAD. The final 3D position(s) represent the 3D position or the 3D pose of the respective object in the scene.
