A method for selecting a candidate six dimensional pose hypothesis from among a plurality of six dimensional pose hypotheses. The method may be used to quickly, accurately, and precisely select a candidate six dimensional pose hypothesis from among a plurality of six dimensional pose hypotheses so that the selected candidate six dimensional pose hypothesis substantially overlaps with an image of an object to be identified from an image of a plurality of objects. In this manner, an object can be identified from among a plurality of objects based on the selected candidate six dimensional pose hypothesis.
