ECCV 2026 · Preliminary Collection

Object Pose Estimation Papers

ECCV 2026 has released a preliminary accepted-paper list, while formal proceedings, complete abstracts, and presentation types are still being added. This collection tracks progress: publicly available papers are checked against their full text, while others list only official titles, authors, and conservative task boundaries.

Hand–object interaction extensions

5

Methods + data / benchmarks

This collection contains 16 papers: 14 directly supporting object pose, plus 2 joint hand–object pose papers for further reading. This is not an official ECCV task-category count.

Collection in One Sentence

Object priors become conditions that can be generated, stored, and retrieved

PANY, UF0-6D, WAPR, and monocular-depth approaches continue to reduce new-object onboarding and refinement costs. G2FM, MemPose, and PriorPose encode category knowledge through flow, external memory, and deformation alignment.

Another clear theme returns evaluation to real complexity: XYZ-IBD targets industrial reflections and dense stacking, Point2Pose supports continuous multi-object recovery after complete occlusion, and geometry-preserving generation directly addresses pose-annotation consistency.

Evidence Status

Check evidence maturity first

Preconference collections can mistake title clues for established conclusions, so each entry displays its evidence status separately.

7

Public full text available for verification

Task settings, pipelines, datasets, and results can be checked through preprints or project pages. These papers receive priority for complete site detail pages.

9

Only official titles and authors available

Only conservative task descriptions are provided, without inferred architectures, datasets, or numerical results. Task boundaries and detail pages will be reviewed when official PDFs become available.

Research Trends

Four research trends

Trends summarize publicly verifiable full texts and official titles. Method details for entries without full text remain marked as unverified.

01 · Generative Pose

Flow becomes a tool for modeling pose distributions

The titles of G2FM, Occlusion-Resilient CAPE, and UF0-6D explicitly mention flow / flow matching, targeting category-level 9DoF, occlusion robustness, and zero-shot estimation with limited postprocessing, respectively. Training and geometric constraints await full-text verification.

02 · Reference & Memory

Priors include arbitrary references and external memory

PANY uses unposed reference views and pose graphs; MemPose maintains cross-instance geometric memory; PriorPose's title indicates reference-guided deformation and alignment.

03 · Reality Check

Industrial complexity and complete occlusion regain attention

XYZ-IBD brings reflections, symmetry, weak texture, and dense stacking into a millimeter-level industrial benchmark. Point2Pose uses long-range 2D point tracks for recovery of multiple unknown objects after complete occlusion and online TSDF reconstruction.

04 · Pose in Interaction

Object pose extends to contact and in-the-wild interaction

GenHOI targets unseen interactions and occlusion, while HOPformer / EPIC-Contact combines object pose, meshes, and contact. These are grouped separately from object-only tasks to keep counts clear.

Data Statistics

Research-area distribution

The 16 papers are assigned to mutually exclusive groups by primary contribution; tags retain overlapping input modalities, task settings, and application conditions.

Category-level generation, memory, and structural priors

7

Handles within-category variation, occlusion, and large vocabularies through flow matching, external geometric memory, shape hypotheses, and reference priors.

Unseen objects, arbitrary references, and reduced postprocessing

4

Moves from CAD or fixed templates toward a few unposed reference images, monocular-depth cues, unified flow, and wide-angle refinement.

Continuous tracking, industrial benchmarks, and data generation

3

Targets recovery after complete occlusion, online multi-object reconstruction, industrial reflections and dense stacking, and geometrically consistent training-data generation.

Extended: object pose in hand–object interaction

2

Object pose is a joint output alongside hands, contact, or interaction states, so these works are counted separately from standard object-only settings.

Interpreting the statistics: Category-level priors, flow, and memory currently form the largest combination. Unseen-object methods emphasize arbitrary references, monocular geometry, and reduced refinement. Counts will be adjusted through full-text verification as the proceedings become available.

Recommended Reading

Priority reading

ECCV 2026 does not yet provide fully verifiable Oral / Spotlight / Award labels. These recommendations reflect publicly available papers' methodological representativeness and dataset value, not official selections.

model-free trackingmultiple objectscomplete occlusion2D point trackeronline TSDF

Setting: Simultaneous tracking and online reconstruction of multiple unknown rigid objects in monocular RGB-D video

Input: RGB-D video + sparse point prompts

Summary: Point2Pose initializes from sparse image points on objects, obtains temporal correspondences with a long-range 2D point tracker, and combines depth with an object-centric 3D keypoint map to recover pose while incrementally reconstructing a TSDF. The preprint reports performance comparable to state of the art on heavy-occlusion benchmarks, with additional multi-object support and complete-occlusion recovery.

Object pose is a joint output alongside hands, contact, or interaction states, so these works are counted separately from standard object-only settings.

GenHOI: Generalized Hand-Object Pose Estimation with Occlusion Awareness

Hui Yang · Wei Sun · Jian Liu · Jian Xiao · Tao Xie · Hossein Rahmani · Ajmal Mian · Nicu Sebe · Gim Hee Lee

hand-objectgeneralizationocclusionsemantic promptmasked modeling

Setting: Joint hand–object 3D pose from one RGB image with unseen objects and novel interactions

Input: RGB + predicted point cloud + text descriptions

Summary: GenHOI encodes objects, hands, and interactions with hierarchical semantic prompts and uses masked modeling over images, text, and internal point clouds. Predicted hand rotation / articulation then constrains object 6D pose. Reported object ADD-0.5D and ADD-S on DexYCB S3 are substantially higher, while hand metrics are only close to UniHOPE; 18 FPS excludes offline text generation.

Towards in-the-wild Egocentric 3D Hand-Object Pose Estimation

Siddhant Bansal · Zhifan Zhu · Shashank Tripathi · Jiahe Zhao · Michael J. Black · Dima Damen

egocentrichand-objectcontactin-the-wild datasettransformer

Setting: Joint two-hand and object pose, mesh, and contact recovery from egocentric in-the-wild RGB

Input: egocentric monocular RGB

Summary: Introduces EPIC-Contact with 2,272 clips and 62.3K frames. HOPformer injects WiLoR hand priors into object features through 12 cross-attention layers. Against the strongest JointTransformer, EPIC SR@0.05 rises from 17.6% to 29.8% and CDev drops from 30.1 to 20.7 mm; the abstract's near-doubling / 75% reduction more closely reflects comparison with ArcticNet-SF. The main pose table uses oracle meshes; automatic classification accuracy is 52.9%.

Scope, Exclusions & Dedup

Counting rules, exclusions, and updates

Core inclusion: Primary outputs are object 6D / 9D pose, category-level / category-agnostic pose, unseen-object pose, object pose tracking, or data and benchmarks directly supporting these tasks.

Extended inclusion: GenHOI and HOPformer jointly estimate hands, objects, and interaction states. Object pose is a joint output in a setting beyond object-only estimation, so they are excluded from the 14 core papers.

Boundary exclusions: Camera pose / visual localization alone, correspondence without object pose recovery, target 6D rearrangement, generated-view pose control, and downstream systems taking existing pose as input are excluded. PoseImageNet is provisionally retained based on its title; its outputs will be reviewed against this site's scope when full text is available.

Version deduplication: Public arXiv versions serve as full-text sources for official ECCV entries and are not counted separately. Once proceedings are available, metadata, presentation types, and results will be updated from ECCV versions and the collection will be screened again.

Primary sources: ECCV 2026 Preliminary Accepted Papers, each paper's official ECCV entry, and public author preprints and project pages. Site summaries do not replace the original papers.
