Reorienting objects by using supports is a practical yet challenging manipulation task. Owing to the intricate geometry of objects and the constrained feasible motions of the robot, multiple manipulation steps are required for object reorientation. In this work, we propose a pipeline for predicting various object placements from point clouds. This pipeline comprises three stages: a pose generation stage, followed by a pose refinement stage, and culminating in a placement classification stage. We also propose an algorithm to construct manipulation graphs based on point clouds. Feasible manipulation sequences are determined for the robot to transfer object placements. Both simulated and real-world experiments demonstrate that our approach is effective. The simulation results underscore our pipeline's capacity to generalize to novel objects in random start poses. Our predicted placements exhibit a 20% enhancement in accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art baseline. Furthermore, the robot finds feasible sequential steps in the manipulation graphs constructed by our algorithm to accomplish object reorientation manipulation.
