• Abstract summary: We show how to model contacts in an explicit way to benefit the implicit reconstruction of hand-held objects. In the first part, we propose a new subtask of directly estimating 3D hand-object contacts from a single image. In the second part, we introduce a novel method to diffuse estimated contact states from the hand mesh surface to nearby 3D space.

• Abstract: Reconstructing hand-held objects from monocular RGB images is an appealing yet challenging task. In this task, contacts between hands and objects provide important cues for recovering the 3D geometry of the hand-held objects. Though recent works have employed implicit functions to achieve impressive progress, they ignore formulating contacts in their frameworks, which results in producing less realistic object meshes. In this work, we explore how to model contacts in an explicit way to benefit the implicit reconstruction of hand-held objects. Our method consists of two components: explicit contact prediction and implicit shape reconstruction. In the first part, we propose a new subtask of directly estimating 3D hand-object contacts from a single image. The part-level and vertex-level graph-based transformers are cascaded and jointly learned in a coarse-to-fine manner for more accurate contact probabilities. In the second part, we introduce a novel method to diffuse estimated contact states from the hand mesh surface to nearby 3D space and leverage diffused contact probabilities to construct the implicit neural representation for the manipulated object. Benefiting from estimating the interaction patterns between the hand and the object, our method can reconstruct more realistic object meshes, especially for object parts that are in contact with hands. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks show that the proposed method outperforms the current state of the arts by a great margin.

  This paper introduces the first text-guided work for generating the sequence of hand-object interaction in 3D. For contact generation, a VAE-based network takes as input a text and an object mesh, and generates the probability of contacts between the surfaces of hands and the object. For motion generation, a Transformer-based diffusion model utilizes this 3D contact map as a strong prior for generating physically plausible hand-object motion.

In addition, we show the impact of adding another GraFormer component that refines the reconstructed shapes based on the hand-object interactions.

  This paper presents a method to learn hand-object interaction prior for reconstructing a 3D hand-object scene from a single RGB image. We use the hand shape to constrain the possible relative configuration of the hand and object geometry.
