Previous probabilistic instance-level understandings mainly consider the single-object image, not single shot with multi-object; relations between objects and the entire scene are out of their focus. The objectness of each observation also hardly join their model. Therefore, we propose a method to approximate the Bayesian observation model of scene-level 3D multi-object understanding. By exploiting variational auto-encoder (VAE), we estimate latent variables from the entire scene, which follow tractable distributions and concurrently imply 3D full shape and pose. To perform object-oriented data association and probabilistic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), our observation models can easily be adopted to probabilistic inference by replacing object-oriented features with latent variables.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.09760v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.09760v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"not-only-look-but-observe-variational","repo_url":"https://github.com/bogus2000/NOLBO","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"object","task_name":"Object"},{"task_slug":"simultaneous-localization-and-mapping","task_name":"Simultaneous Localization and Mapping"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
