MACS: Mass Conditioned 3D Hand and Object Motion Synthesis

Soshi Shimada, Franziska Mueller, Jan Bednarik +7

The physical properties of an object, such as mass, significantly affect how we manipulate it with our hands. Surprisingly, this aspect has so far been neglected in prior work on 3…

Spectral Graphormer: Spectral Graph-based Transformer for Egocentric Two-Hand Reconstruction using Multi-View Color Images

Tze Ho Elden Tse, Franziska Mueller, Zhengyang Shen +8

We propose a novel transformer-based framework that reconstructs two high fidelity hands from multi-view RGB images. Unlike existing hand pose estimation methods, where one typical…

Generative Model-Based Loss to the Rescue: A Method to Overcome Annotation Errors for Depth-Based Hand Pose Estimation

Jiayi Wang, Franziska Mueller, Florian Bernard +1

We propose to use a model-based generative loss for training hand pose estimators on depth images based on a volumetric hand model. This additional loss allows training of a hand p…
