METHOD FOR TRAINING A POSE ESTIMATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532023 titled 'METHOD FOR TRAINING A POSE ESTIMATOR

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application is about training a pose estimator that takes sensor measurements of an object as input and produces the pose of the object as output. The training process involves using multiple initial pose estimators to obtain estimated poses for sensor measurements, and then training a further pose estimator using an autoencoder to map poses from one format to another.

  • The innovation involves training a pose estimator using multiple initial estimators and an autoencoder.
  • The pose estimator processes sensor measurements to determine the pose of an object.
  • The autoencoder helps map poses from one format to another, improving the accuracy of the estimator.
  • The training process enhances the precision and reliability of the pose estimator.
  • The technology aims to improve the accuracy of pose estimation for various applications.

Potential Applications:

  • Robotics: Precise pose estimation can improve robotic manipulation and navigation.

Original Abstract Submitted

Training a pose estimator. The pose estimator may receive as input a sensor measurement representing an object and to produce a pose of the object as output. Training the pose estimator may include applying multiple trained initial pose estimators to a pool of sensor measurements to obtain multiple estimated poses for a sensor measurement. A further pose estimator may be trained on multiple training data sets using at least part of an autoencoder trained on the multiple estimated poses to map a pose from a first pose format to a second pose format.
