3D Pose Estimation for Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images.

3D pose estimation is always an active but challenging task for object detection in remote sensing images. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for predicting an object's 3D pose in remote sensing images, called Anchor Points Prediction (APP). Compared to previous methods, such as RoI Transform, our object results of the final output can obtain direction information. We predict the object's multiple feature points based on the neural network to obtain the homograph transformation relationship between object coordinates and image coordinates. The resulting 3D pose can accurately describe the three-dimensional position and attitude of the object. At the same time, we redefine the method I o U A P P for calculating the direction and posture of the object. We tested our algorithm on the HRSC2016 dataset and the DOTA dataset with accuracy rates of 0.863 and 0.701, respectively. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the APP algorithm is significantly improved. At the same time, the algorithm can achieve one-stage prediction, which makes the calculation process easier and more efficient.
