New framework boosts 6D pose estimation accuracy with RGB-D fusion

Researchers have developed a new framework for estimating an object's 6D pose using a combination of object detection and heatmap regression. Their approach utilizes YOLOv10m for initial object detection and a ResNet18 network to predict 2D heatmaps from RGB images, from which keypoints are extracted for pose estimation. Incorporating depth data through a cross-fusion architecture significantly improved accuracy, with the RGB-D model achieving 92.41% accuracy on the LINEMOD dataset, compared to 84.50% for the RGB-only model.
