Key Points
- The paper proposes RecGen, a generative framework that jointly estimates multiple objects’ shapes/parts and their poses from one or multiple RGB-D images under occlusion and partial visibility.
- RecGen is built on compositional synthetic scene generation and strong 3D shape priors, enabling it to generalize across different object categories and real-world environments.
- Experiments show state-of-the-art results on challenging datasets with heavy occlusions, including robustness to symmetric objects, articulated parts, and complex geometry and textures.
- RecGen improves over the prior best method (SAM3D) while using about 80% fewer training meshes, yielding significant gains in geometric shape quality, texture reconstruction, and pose estimation.
