Publications

Conferences:

TransGrasp: Grasp Pose Estimation of a Category of Objects by Transferring Grasps from Only One Labeled Instance Hongtao Wen*, Jianhang Yan*, Wanli Peng, Yi Sun European Conference on Computer Vision 2022 (ECCV 2022), * indicates equal contribution. Webpage / Introduction Video / Code / PDF We propose TransGrasp, a category-level grasp pose estimation method that predicts grasp poses of a category of objects by labeling only one object instance.

Self-Supervised Category-Level 6D Object Pose Estimation with Deep Implicit Shape Representation Wanli Peng, Jianhang Yan, Hongtao Wen, Yi Sun Thirty-sixth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2022) Webpage / Introduction Video / Code / PDF We present a self-supervised method for category-level 6D pose estimation, SSC-6D, which can predict unseen object poses without explicit pose annotations and exact 3D models in real scenarios for training.
