Beyond 'Templates': Category-Agnostic Object Pose, Size, and Shape Estimation from a Single View
Estimating an object's 6D pose, size, and shape from visual input is a fundamental problem in computer vision, with critical applications in robotic grasping and manipulation. Existing methods either rely on object-specific priors such as CAD models or templates, or suffer from limited generalization across categories due to pose-shape entanglement and multi-stage pipelines. In this work, we propose a unified, category-agnostic framework that simultaneously predicts 6D pose, size, and dense sha…

Proactive and Reactive Autoscaling Techniques for Edge Computing
Edge computing allows for the decentralization of computing resources. This decentralization is achieved through implementing microservice architectures, which require low latencies to meet stringent service level agreements (SLA) such as performance, reliability, and availability metrics. While cloud computing offers the large data storage and computation resources necessary to handle peak demands, a hybrid cloud and edge environment is required to ensure SLA compliance. Several auto-scaling a…
