ShelfChange3D: Object-Level 3D Change Detection for Retail Shelf Monitoring
Abstract
Reliable shelf monitoring is an important capability for retail automation, yet existing out-of-stock detection methods mainly operate in image space and lack metric 3D localization for downstream robotic systems. We formulate shelf monitoring as object-level 3D change detection: given two RGB-D observations captured at different times, the goal is to identify changed products and localize each change with a 3D bounding box. To support this task, we introduce ShelfChange3D, comprising 145K synthetic and 5K real-world paired RGB-D observations with object-level 3D change annotations. We further propose ChangeBox, an end-to-end framework that jointly reasons over paired observations and predicts object-level 3D change boxes. To improve localization accuracy, we introduce a geometry-based refinement stage that exploits depth and gravity prior to estimate relative pose and refine predicted boxes. Experiments show that ChangeBox outperforms existing change detection baselines, with further gains from refinement and effective transfer from synthetic to real-world observations.
