Abstract:

Shape assembly is a ubiquitous task in daily life, integral for constructing complex 3D structures like IKEA furniture. While significant progress has been made in developing autonomous agents for shape assembly, existing datasets have largely ignored the grounding of assembly instructions in videos, for holistic understanding of the shape assemblies in 3D space over time. We introduce IKEA Video Manuals, a dataset featuring 3D models of furniture parts, instructional manuals, and assembly videos from the Internet, annotated with dense spatio-temporal alignments between these data modalities. To demonstrate the utility of IKEA Video Manuals, we present four applications essential for shape assembly: assembly plan generation, part-conditioned segmentation, part-conditioned pose estimation, and furniture assembly based on instructional video manuals. For each application, we provide evaluation metrics and baseline methods. Through experiments on our annotated data, we highlight many challenges in grounding assembly instructions in videos to improve shape assembly.
