A generalizable method for single-view object pose estimation is introduced, leveraging generative diffusion models and a novel two-side matching technique to accurately estimate 3D poses for unseen object categories, even with large viewpoint differences, without requiring 3D models or multi-view training data.

Key insights

  • Large viewpoint changes, challenging for direct generation by diffusion models, can be effectively bridged by generating and matching multiple intermediate viewpoints from both reference and query images.
  • A two-side matching approach, comparing generated views from both the reference and query, provides a robust mechanism to evaluate and optimize the relative 3D pose.
  • A score function derived from the noise prediction of a diffusion model can serve as an effective proxy for image similarity, guiding the pose optimization process without explicit 3D models.
