METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALIGNING GEOMETRIC OBJECT MODELS WITH IMAGES

A method and system is provided for aligning a geometric object model with a pixel image. A geometric object model representing an object is obtained first. Using the geometric object model of the object, a revised geometric object model is created. An alignment tool is then trained based on the revised geometric object model. The alignment model can be applied to a pixel image of the object so that the pose of the object can be computed by aligning the revised geometric object model with the image.
