Abstract

Rigid object pose estimation from monocular images plays an important role in practical applications such as robotic grasping, industrial assembly, and augmented reality. However, depth absence, occlusion, illumination variation, and weak texture still pose challenges to high-accuracy pose estimation. The review focused on 3D model-assisted approaches and systematically examined explicit-driven, implicit-representation, and indirect-supervision methods. It also reviewed their applications in complex scenarios and sources of 3D model data. The analysis showed that 3D model priors strengthened the association between image information and spatial geometry and improved the accuracy and robustness of pose estimation. The review summarizes the major limitations of existing methods, discusses future research directions, and provides a reference for further research.
