Abstract
The disclosure provides implicit representations for multi-object 3D shape, 6D pose and size, and appearance optimization, including obtaining shape, 6D pose and size, and appearance codes. Training is employed using shape and appearance priors from an implicit joint differential database. 2D masks are also obtained and are used in an optimization process that utilizes a combined loss minimizing function and an Octree-based coarse-to-fine differentiable optimization to jointly optimize the latest shape, appearance, pose and size, and 2D masks. An object surface is recovered from the latest shape codes to a desired resolution level. The database represents shapes as Signed Distance Fields (SDF), and appearance as Texture Fields (TF).
