Abstract:
When an image is projected from 3D, the viewpoint of objects in the image, relative to the camera, must be determined. Since the image itself will not have sufficient information to determine the viewpoint of the various objects in the image, techniques to estimate the viewpoint must be employed. To date, neural networks have been used to infer such viewpoint estimates on an object category basis, but must first be trained with numerous examples that have been manually created. The present disclosure provides a neural network that is trained to learn, from just a few example images, a unique viewpoint estimation network capable of inferring viewpoint estimations for a new object category.
