Tamaththul3D: High-Fidelity 3D Saudi Sign Language Avatars from Monocular Video

arXiv:2605. 05367v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing 3D sign language avatar reconstruction methods are developed and evaluated exclusively on Western sign languages, and no 3D parametric annotations exist for any Arabic Sign Language dataset, a gap that blocks the development of avatar-based accessibility applications for the Arab Deaf community.

KAD-Net: Kinematics-Aware Decoupled Learning for Robust 3D Hand Pose Estimation from a Single Depth Image

KAD-Net introduces a Kinematics-Aware Decoupled Learning Network for 3D hand pose estimation from a single depth image. It employs a Finger Topology Constraint module that uses local kinematic representations of three consecutive finger joints to better model distal joint relationships and handle occlusion. The architecture also decouples 2D joint localization from depth estimation in a hierarchical multitask framework, reducing feature interference and improving accuracy on benchmark datasets such as ICVL, NYU, and MSRA.
