12. A system for estimating pose, the system comprising: a camera configured to capture sequential images; a computer comprising memory that stores pose estimation algorithm configured to estimate pose of an object from the sequential images by: generating hypotheses for a pose component under consideration, identifying a mode of a probability mass function associated with the hypotheses, extracting low-noise hypotheses, and averaging the low-noise hypotheses to obtain a pose component estimate.
