GRC-Pose: Generation-Reconstruction Correspondence for Prior-Free 6D Object Pose Tracking

Abstract

Prior-free 6D object pose tracking seeks to recover the trajectory of an unseen object from a single RGB video without object-specific CAD models, posed reference images, or pose annotations. Geometric foundation models provide complementary object-centric and scene-centric cues, yet SAM3D CAD is indexed by an arbitrary object-local surface parameterization, whereas reconstructed evidence is expressed in a sequence-specific world frame with partial surface coverage. To exploit this complementarity, we formulate tracking as generation-reconstruction correspondence and introduce GRC-Pose, a correspondence-based framework that combines learned correspondence prediction with robust pose estimation. Concretely, GeoCorr-Matcher estimates weighted object-scene correspondences and per-match uncertainty for each pose candidate. FGH-Solver integrates these matches through multiple robust geometric estimators and sequence-level posterior inference, while a posterior-gated memory retains only inlier-supported observations through occlusion and viewpoint change. Extensive evaluation shows that with SAM3D CAD, GRC-Pose achieves state-of-the-art Average Recall and motion retention on HOT3D, improving the latter by 58% over prior art. On classical benchmarks including YCBInEOAT and LINEMOD, it remains highly competitive.
