Abstract

Collecting correlated scene images and camera poses is an essential step towards learningabsolute camera pose regression models. While the acquisition of such data in living environmentsis relatively easy by following regular roads and paths, it is still a challenging task in constrictedindustrial environments. This is because industrial objects have varied sizes and inspections areusually carried out with non-constant motions. As a result, regression models are more sensitiveto scene images with respect to viewpoints and distances. Motivated by this, we present a simplebut efficient camera pose data collection method, WatchPose, to improve the generalization androbustness of camera pose regression models. Specifically, WatchPose tracks nested markers andvisualizes viewpoints in an Augmented Reality- (AR) based manner to properly guide users tocollect training data from broader camera-object distances and more diverse views around the objects.Experiments show that WatchPose can effectively improve the accuracy of existing camera poseregression models compared to the traditional data acquisition method. We also introduce a newdataset, Industrial10, to encourage the community to adapt camera pose regression methods for morecomplex environments.
