Object Registration in Neural Fields
This work addresses object registration in neural fields for robotics applications, but it appears incremental as it expands on an existing method.
The paper tackles the problem of 6-DoF object registration in neural fields for robotics, showing how it enables pose determination, improves object representation in imperfect scenes, and allows scene generation by substituting object models.
Neural fields provide a continuous scene representation of 3D geometry and appearance in a way which has great promise for robotics applications. One functionality that unlocks unique use-cases for neural fields in robotics is object 6-DoF registration. In this paper, we provide an expanded analysis of the recent Reg-NF neural field registration method and its use-cases within a robotics context. We showcase the scenario of determining the 6-DoF pose of known objects within a scene using scene and object neural field models. We show how this may be used to better represent objects within imperfectly modelled scenes and generate new scenes by substituting object neural field models into the scene.
