Abstract
A method and a system for object detection and pose estimation within an input image. A 6-degree-of-freedom object detection and pose estimation is performed using a trained encoder-decoder convolutional artificial neural network including an encoder head, an ID mask decoder head, a first correspondence color channel decoder head and a second correspondence color channel decoder head. The ID mask decoder head creates an ID mask for identifying objects, and the color channel decoder heads are used to create a 2D-to-3D-correspondence map. For at least one object identified by the ID mask, a pose estimation based on the generated 2D-to-3D-correspondence map and on a pre-generated bijective association of points of the object with unique value combinations in the first and the second correspondence color channels is generated.
