Resume:

1.- EPro-PnP: Probabilistic Perspective-n-Points layer for end-to-end object pose estimation from 2D-3D point correspondences.

2.- Pose ambiguity captured by predicting pose distribution instead of deterministic pose.

3.- KL divergence between predicted and target pose distributions used as training loss.

4.- Monte Carlo approach efficiently estimates pose loss integral.

5.- Corresponding weights balance uncertainty and pose discrimination, resembling attention mechanism.

6.- Derivatives of pose density regularized to aid optimization.

7.- Unifies and outperforms prior PnP-based approaches.

8.- Dense correspondence network modified from CDPN with EPro-PnP significantly improves performance.

9.- Novel deformable correspondence network learns 2D-3D points from scratch for 3D object detection.

10.- Outperforms state-of-the-art 6DoF pose estimation and 3D object detection methods on LineMOD and nuScenes benchmarks.
