Thesis opportunity- What is the best way to estimate 6D pose from Depth and Color images these days?

What the Master Thesis is about/background to the problem to investigate

There are many methods for how to estimate the 6D pose of an object in an rgbd (color and depth) image. Traditional methods have recently met competition from Deep Learning based methods. This project aims to evaluate the leading traditional and learning based methods to where we currently find the state of the art. 

The master thesis work focuses on the following/example of research questions

Do a state of the art search of traditional and learning based methods and get an understanding of how they works (Eg. nvlabs.github.io/FoundationPose/). Compare some of them based on at least these criteria:

• Localization performance, false positive/false negative
• Localization accuracy
• Speed
• Ease of use

Prerequisites

 Good skills and high interest in areas such as machine vision, machine learning and programming.
