6DoF / model-point distance · error

ADD

Average Distance of Model Points

Compares each CAD point under predicted and ground-truth poses, averaging the 3D distances.

ADD suits asymmetric objects: it penalizes both rotation and translation errors and reflects misalignment at the object's physical scale.

Principle

What error does this metric penalize?

The formulas define the computation. The diagrams show whether the error concerns a 3D model, visible surfaces, the image plane, or aggregation across thresholds.

After uniformly sampling the CAD surface, each point has a fixed identity. Apply predicted and ground-truth poses to the same point, then measure its displacement.

It evaluates more than the object center: under rotation, points farther from the center incur larger errors.

\operatorname{ADD}=\frac{1}{|\mathcal M|}\sum_{x\in\mathcal M}\left\lVert (R_{gt}x+t_{gt})-(\hat R x+\hat t)\right\rVert_2

d usually denotes object diameter. For AUC, specify the upper error limit, such as the 0.1m setting commonly used on YCB-Video.

Illustration created for this site to explain the metric's error space; it does not show measured data or a figure from the original paper.

How to compute

Computation steps

01
Obtain a fixed point set M from the CAD model.
02
Transform each corresponding point with the ground-truth and predicted poses.
03
Average the distances between corresponding points, then normalize or threshold according to the protocol.

Strength

What it is useful for

Clear geometric meaning and widely used in traditional instance-level benchmarks.
A single value reflects rotation, translation, and object size.

Caveat

Cautions when reading results

Incorrectly penalizes visually equivalent poses of symmetric objects.
Fully occluded back surfaces also contribute, so it does not directly measure visible-image alignment.
