3DoF Object Pose Prediction with Temporal Guidance Using a CNN-Transformer Network
摘要
Object pose estimation aims to obtain the pose of objects from images. In high-speed scenarios such as factory automation (FA), the latency in vision systems can cause the estimated pose to become outdated, which means the result corresponds to an earlier frame and does not match the current time, leading to control failures. This paper proposes a CNN-Transformer based 3DoF object pose prediction network that anticipates the future pose of the target object, compensating for the inevitable system delay. Temporal reasoning is enhanced via a Frame Difference Guidance module for inter-frame variation emphasis and a Dual-Multi Temporal Encoder for capturing both short-term and long-term dependencies across sampled frames. Moreover, due to the lack of suitable benchmarks, this paper contributes a video dataset, specifically designed for training and evaluating pose prediction models. The current well-trained network achieves an average pose prediction error of within 6 \(^\circ \) C under different motion scenarios.
