Abstract
Recent top performing methods for viewpoint estimation make use of 3D information like 3D CAD models or 3D landmarks to build a 3D representation of the class. These 3D annotations are expensive and not really available for many classes. In this paper we investigate whether and how comparable or better performance can be obtained without any 3D information. We consider viewpoint estimation as a 1-vs-all classification problem on the previously detected object bounding box. In this framework we compare several features and parameter configurations and show that the modern representations based on Fisher encoding and convolutional neural network based features together with a neighbor viewpoint suppression strategy on the training data lead to comparable or better performance than the more annotation demanding 3D methods.
