• Abstract summary: EgoISM-HOI is a new multimodal dataset composed of synthetic EHOI images in an industrial environment with rich annotations of hands and objects. Our study shows that exploiting synthetic data to pre-train the proposed method significantly improves performance when tested on real-world data.

• Abstract: In this paper, we tackle the problem of Egocentric Human-Object Interaction (EHOI) detection in an industrial setting. To overcome the lack of public datasets in this context, we propose a pipeline and a tool for generating synthetic images of EHOIs paired with several annotations and data signals (e.g., depth maps or segmentation masks). Using the proposed pipeline, we present EgoISM-HOI a new multimodal dataset composed of synthetic EHOI images in an industrial environment with rich annotations of hands and objects. To demonstrate the utility and effectiveness of synthetic EHOI data produced by the proposed tool, we designed a new method that predicts and combines different multimodal signals to detect EHOIs in RGB images. Our study shows that exploiting synthetic data to pre-train the proposed method significantly improves performance when tested on real-world data. Moreover, to fully understand the usefulness of our method, we conducted an in-depth analysis in which we compared and highlighted the superiority of the proposed approach over different state-of-the-art class-agnostic methods. To support research in this field, we publicly release the datasets, source code, and pre-trained models at https://iplab.dmi.unict.it/egoism-hoi.

  Eye image segmentation is a critical step in eye tracking that has great influence over the final gaze estimate.

  We introduce DiffHOI, a novel HOI detection scheme grounded on a pre-trained text-image diffusion model. To fill in the gaps of HOI datasets, we propose SynHOI, a class-balance, large-scale, and high-diversity synthetic dataset. Experiments demonstrate that DiffHOI significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art in regular detection (i.e., 41.50 mAP) and zero-shot detection.
