We show that the resulting pipeline can be trained in a self-supervised manner, which is useful for domain adaptation.
We demonstrate CRISP across multiple datasets, from common objects (YCBV, NOCS) to satellites (SPE3R dataset). [3/n]
CRISP is based on pre-trained vision transformer backbone with a dense prediction transformer and feature-wise linear modulation condition. It includes an optimization-based approach to correct the prediction at test-time using sensor data (what we call the “corrector”). [2/n]

CRISP: Object Pose and Shape Estimation with Test-Time Adaptation
We propose a category-agnostic approach for object pose and shape estimation from RGB-D data that is able to perform self-supervised domain adaptation. [1/n]
