However, most existing methods increasingly rely on stronger feature learning while overlooking whether the established correspondences are geometrically stable across diverse perturbations. This often results in fragile pose recovery under intra-class shape variations and occlusions. To tackle this challenge, we develop a novel Triangle-Invariant Geometric Consistency Learning for Category-Level Object Pose Estimation (TriCons-Pose) to anchor stable keypoints and aggregate poseinvariant cues, yielding reliable canonical mapping and accurate pose estimation. Specifically, a Structure-Consistent Keypoint Detector (SCKD) is designed to identify robust keypoints by enforcing cross-view structural consistency via normalized pairwise distance matching. Moreover, we propose a Pose-Invariant Geometric Aggregator (PIGA) to augment keypoint representations by injecting triangle-based pose-invariant descriptors into a localto-global attention mechanism. The proposed framework is optimized using standard objective functions while incorporating an additional geometry consistency loss. Extensive experiments on REAL275, CAMERA25, and HouseCat6D datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.  \nIndex Terms—Category-level pose estimation, keypoint-based correspondence, structural and geometric consistency  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nOBJECT pose estimation has received considerable atten  \ntion in both academia and industry because of its broad applicability in robotic grasping [1], autonomous driving [2], augmented reality [3], and 3D scene understanding [4] . As a fundamental problem in 3D vision, 6D object pose estimation seeks to determine the 3D rotation, 3D translation of an object, which are essential for geometric perception and subsequent physical interaction. With the support of instancespecific CAD models, instance-level object pose estimation [5]  \nZuzhi Yang, Shuai Wang, and Zhidong Zhao are with the School of Cyberspace, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China (e-mail: [242270060@hdu.edu.cn](242270060@hdu.edu.cn), [shuaiwang.tai@gmail.com](shuaiwang.tai@gmail.com), [zhaozd@hdu.edu.cn](zhaozd@hdu.edu.cn)).  \nZhiming Cheng and Chenggang Yan are with the School of Communication Engineering, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China (e-mail: [czming@hdu.edu.cn](czming@hdu.edu.cn), [cgyan@hdu.edu.cn](cgyan@hdu.edu.cn)).  \nMounir Kaaniche is with Universit Sorbonne Paris Nord, L2TI, UR 3043, F-93430, Villetaneuse, France, and Universit Paris-Saclay, CentraleSuplec, CVN, 91190 Gif-sur-Yvette, France (e-mail: mounir.kaaniche@univ[paris13.fr](paris13.fr)).  \nZiwei Li is with the School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China.

However, its dependence on predefined object models restricts applicability to objects without corresponding CAD models and limits generalization to unseen instances. To overcome these limitations, categorylevel object pose estimation [6], [7] seeks to estimate the pose and size of unseen objects from categories observed during training without requiring CAD models during inference. Despite recent progress, this task remains highly challenging due to intra-class shape variation, occlusion, and sensor noise.  \nExisting category-level methods can generally be divided into prior-based and prior-free approaches.
