Researchers have developed a self-supervised method to establish a shared canonical object frame from in-the-wild videos, eliminating the need for manual annotation. By training on 160,000 object videos and utilizing noisy Structure-from-Motion poses, the system learns dense correspondences to a coarse canonical mesh. This approach leverages multi-view consistency and feature extractor priors to emerge a common frame, achieving competitive accuracy on category-level pose estimation benchmarks. AI
