• Abstract summary: We introduce an end-to-end learnable model, BiHand, which consists of three cascaded stages, namely 2D seeding stage, 3D lifting stage, and mesh generation stage. At the output of BiHand, the full hand mesh will be recovered using the joint rotations and shape parameters predicted from the network. Our model can achieve superior accuracy in comparison with state-of-the-art methods, and can produce appealing 3D hand meshes in several severe conditions.

• Abstract: 3D hand estimation has been a long-standing research topic in computer vision. A recent trend aims not only to estimate the 3D hand joint locations but also to recover the mesh model. However, achieving those goals from a single RGB image remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce an end-to-end learnable model, BiHand, which consists of three cascaded stages, namely 2D seeding stage, 3D lifting stage, and mesh generation stage. At the output of BiHand, the full hand mesh will be recovered using the joint rotations and shape parameters predicted from the network. Inside each stage, BiHand adopts a novel bisecting design which allows the networks to encapsulate two closely related information (e.g. 2D keypoints and silhouette in 2D seeding stage, 3D joints, and depth map in 3D lifting stage, joint rotations and shape parameters in the mesh generation stage) in a single forward pass. As the information represents different geometry or structure details, bisecting the data flow can facilitate optimization and increase robustness. For quantitative evaluation, we conduct experiments on two public benchmarks, namely the Rendered Hand Dataset (RHD) and the Stereo Hand Pose Tracking Benchmark (STB). Extensive experiments show that our model can achieve superior accuracy in comparison with state-of-the-art methods, and can produce appealing 3D hand meshes in several severe conditions.

  This paper aims to estimate 3D mesh of multiple body parts with large-scale differences from a single RGB image. The main challenge is lacking training data that have complete 3D annotations of all body parts in 2D images. We propose a depth-to-scale (D2S) projection to incorporate the depth difference into the projection function to derive per-joint scale variants.
