ContactOpt: Optimizing Contact to Improve Grasps
Patrick Grady, Chengcheng Tang, Christopher D. Twigg +3
Physical contact between hands and objects plays a critical role in human grasps. We show that optimizing the pose of a hand to achieve expected contact with an object can improve…
ContactPose: A Dataset of Grasps with Object Contact and Hand Pose
Samarth Brahmbhatt, Chengcheng Tang, Christopher D. Twigg +2
Grasping is natural for humans. However, it involves complex hand configurations and soft tissue deformation that can result in complicated regions of contact between the hand and…
Towards Markerless Grasp Capture
Samarth Brahmbhatt, Charles C. Kemp, James Hays
Humans excel at grasping objects and manipulating them. Capturing human grasps is important for understanding grasping behavior and reconstructing it realistically in Virtual Reali…
ContactDB: Analyzing and Predicting Grasp Contact via Thermal Imaging
Samarth Brahmbhatt, Cusuh Ham, Charles C. Kemp +1
Grasping and manipulating objects is an important human skill. Since hand-object contact is fundamental to grasping, capturing it can lead to important insights. However, observing…
