Nvidia patents method to find object position from single image
Nvidia has filed a patent application for a system that uses neural networks to figure out the exact position and orientation of an object. The technology works by analyzing just one photograph of the object to calculate where it is in space, rather than requiring multiple images or sensors.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to determine a pose of an object. In at least one embodiment, a network is trained to predict a pose of an autonomous object based, at least in part, on only one image of the autonomous object.
