• Abstract: We develop a rotation equivariant model for generating 3D hand meshes from 2D RGB images. This guarantees that as the input image of a hand is rotated the generated mesh undergoes a corresponding rotation. Furthermore, this removes undesirable deformations in the meshes often generated by methods without rotation equivariance. By building a rotation equivariant model, through considering symmetries in the problem, we reduce the need for training on very large datasets to achieve good mesh reconstruction. The encoder takes images defined on $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ and maps these to latent functions defined on the group $C_{8}$. We introduce a novel vector mapping function to map the function defined on $C_{8}$ to a latent point cloud space defined on the group $\mathrm{SO}(2)$. Further, we introduce a 3D projection function that learns a 3D function from the $\mathrm{SO}(2)$ latent space. Finally, we use an $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ equivariant decoder to ensure rotation equivariance. Our rotation equivariant model outperforms state-of-the-art methods on a real-world dataset and we demonstrate that it accurately captures the shape and pose in the generated meshes under rotation of the input hand.

  Methods that predict a single point estimate do not predict the pose of objects with symmetries well and cannot represent uncertainty. We propose a novel mapping of features from the image domain to the 3D rotation manifold. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method at object orientation prediction, and achieve state-of-the-art performance on the popular PASCAL3D+ dataset.

  We present a technique for estimating the relative 3D rotation of an RGB image pair in an extreme setting. We observe that, even when images do not overlap, there may be rich hidden cues as to their geometric relationship. We propose a network design that can automatically learn such implicit cues by comparing all pairs of points between the two input images.
