MemPose: Category-level Object Pose Estimation with Memory

arXiv:2607.04930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the pursuit of robust and generalizable category-level object pose estimation, most existing methods adopt parametric formulations that learn effective representations from data, yet they primarily encode category-level patterns into fixed shape priors or static parameter weights, which limits their scalability to highly diverse instances. In this paper, we rethink category-level pose estimation from a memory-centric perspective and present MemPose, a memory-augmented framework that explicitly incorporates category-level geometric memory int

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in AI, particularly in computer vision and machine learning architectures, are enabling more sophisticated approaches to long-standing challenges like robust object pose estimation.

Why it’s important

Improved category-level object pose estimation is crucial for advancing AI applications in robotics, augmented reality, and industrial automation, where precise understanding of object orientation is essential.

What changes

This memory-augmented framework potentially enhances the scalability and generalizability of pose estimation to highly diverse instances within a category, moving beyond fixed shape priors.
