Hybrid One-Shot 3D Hand Pose Estimation

(a) (b) (c)

A learned joint regressor might fail to recover the pose of a hand due to ambiguities or lack of training data (a). We make use of the inherent uncertainty of a regressor by enforcing it to generate multiple proposals (b). The crosses show the top three proposals for the proximal interphalangeal joint of the ring finger for which the corresponding ground truth position is drawn in green. The marker size of the proposals corresponds to degree of confidence. Our subsequent model-based optimisation procedure exploits these proposals to estimate the true pose (c).

We used synthetically generated data to evaluate the influence of major processing steps and compare to the approach from FORTH. The datasets have been acquired at FORTH.

The packages contain our results (for TrackSeq) as well as further descriptions and example scripts illustrating usage of the data.

Our results for the ICVL and NYU datasets can be downloaded here (~19 MB) or from the github repository.
