Vision-Language Models for Egocentric Video: From Hand-Object Interaction to Embodied AI

Mohammad Zamani, Fatemeh Ziaeetabar

Egocentric video captures activities from the wearer's perspective, providing a direct view of human attention, hand--object interaction, and goal-directed behavior. This perspecti…

Lag-aware cross-hand alignment for dual-hand action segmentation

Fatemeh Ziaeetabar

Dual-hand action segmentation commonly fuses left- and right-hand representations at identical temporal indices, although coordinated hand transitions may occur with nonzero and ti…

Beyond Pairwise Relations: Dynamic Manipulation Hypergraphs for Vision-Based Human Activity Recognition

Fatemeh Ziaeetabar

Fine-grained manipulation recognition requires modeling evolving relations among hands, objects, tools, and supporting surfaces. Conventional graph-based methods use pairwise edges…
