This disclosure describes a method and system to perform object detection and 6D pose estimation. The system comprises a database of 3D models, a CNN-based object detector, multiview pose verification, and a hard example generator for CNN training.;The accuracy of that detection and estimation can be iteratively improved by retraining the CNN with increasingly hard ground truth examples. The additional images are detected and annotated by an automatic process of pose estimation and verification.
