About

We propose DynAMical Pose estimation (DAMP), the first general and practical framework to perform pose estimation from 2D and 3D visual correspondences by simulating rigid body dynamics arising from virtual springs and damping (top row, magenta lines). DAMP almost always returns the globally optimal rigid transformation across five pose estimation problems (bottom row). (a) Point cloud registration using the Bunny dataset; (b) Primitive registration using a robot model of spheres, planes, cylinders and cones; (c) Category registration using the chair category from the PASCAL3D+ dataset; (d) Absolute pose estimation (APE) using the SPEED satellite dataset; (e) Category APE using the FG3DCar dataset.
