Systems and methods for taxel hyper-resolution output are provided. Tactile sensors contact an object and produce taxel data for each contact made. Taxel data from the tactile sensors is encoded and compared with detailed geometric data of a known object to generate a set of ranked poses. For each pose one or more substantially matching candidate poses from the stored geometric data are generated. Pairs of poses are iteratively compared with pairs of candidate poses to determine the most probable candidate pose for each pose. Taxel hyper-resolution data for determined poses is generated from the detailed geometric data and output for use by downstream systems.
