MemPose: Category-level Object Pose Estimation with Memory
About
In the pursuit of robust and generalizable category-level object pose estimation, most existing methods adopt parametric formulations that learn effective representations from data, yet they primarily encode category-level patterns into fixed shape priors or static parameter weights, which limits their scalability to highly diverse instances. In this paper, we rethink category-level pose estimation from a memory-centric perspective and present MemPose, a memory-augmented framework that explicitly incorporates category-level geometric memory into the pose estimation pipeline. We introduce an external memory buffer that stores and dynamically updates structural representations from previously observed instances, enabling the model to leverage accumulated experience to support current perception. Extensive experiments on four challenging benchmarks (REAL275, CAMERA25, Housecat6D and Wild6D) demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over previous state-of-the-art approaches.
