• Abstract: In this work, we present ThermoHands, a new benchmark for thermal image-based egocentric 3D hand pose estimation, aimed at overcoming challenges like varying lighting conditions and obstructions (e.g., handwear). The benchmark includes a multi-view and multi-spectral dataset collected from 28 subjects performing hand-object and hand-virtual interactions under diverse scenarios, accurately annotated with 3D hand poses through an automated process. We introduce a new baseline method, TherFormer, utilizing dual transformer modules for effective egocentric 3D hand pose estimation in thermal imagery. Our experimental results highlight TherFormer's leading performance and affirm thermal imaging's effectiveness in enabling robust 3D hand pose estimation in adverse conditions.

  We present a data-driven pipeline for efficient multi-hand reconstruction in the wild. The proposed pipeline is composed of two components: a real-time fully convolutional hand localization and a high-fidelity transformer-based 3D hand reconstruction model. Our approach outperforms previous methods in both efficiency and accuracy on popular 2D and 3D benchmarks.

  Estimating 3D interacting hand pose from a single RGB image is essential for understanding human actions. We propose to decompose the challenging interacting hand pose estimation task and estimate the pose of each hand separately. Experiments show that the proposed method significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art interacting hand pose estimation approaches.

  HANDS'19 is a challenge to evaluate the abilities of current 3D hand pose estimators (HPEs) to interpolate and extrapolate the poses of a training set. We show that the accuracy of state-of-the-art methods can drop, and that they fail mostly on poses absent from the training set.
