DreamHand: Repurposing Video Diffusion Models for Occlusion-Robust Egocentric 3D Hand Motion Recovery

arXiv:2608. 20308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Egocentric video offers scalable manipulation data for embodied AI, yet recovering metric 3D hand trajectories remains challenging due to severe object occlusion and frequent out-of-sight gaps.

MINT: A Unified Model for World-Space Camera and Hand Motion Estimation from Scalable Egocentric Pipeline Supervision

MINT is a foundation model that directly predicts world-space two-hand trajectories from egocentric RGB video, jointly estimating camera motion, hand states, and hand presence in a single spatiotemporal representation. It uses an open-source labeling pipeline, EGOPIPELINE, to generate large-scale pseudo-labels for pretraining, followed by fine-tuning on a small set of high-quality joint annotations. The model outperforms existing multi-stage approaches in accuracy and speed, and generalizes zero‑shot to unseen egocentric datasets.

ESTHER: Egocentric Stereo Hand Estimation and Reconstruction in the Wild

ESTHER is an end‑to‑end model for egocentric stereo hand reconstruction that integrates stereo geometry, temporal reasoning, and a suitable output representation for wearable cameras. It is trained on pseudo‑labels from a calibrated pipeline and introduces the ESTHER3D benchmark, which pairs a large in‑the‑wild training set with a motion‑capture test set of true metric ground truth. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art accuracy, strong generalization, and robustness to missing views, dropped frames, and extreme lighting or motion blur, while preserving metric scale even when reduced to a single monocular view.
