Skeleton-based action recognition has achieved remarkable success by exploiting joint coordinates and their topological connections, yet prevailing methods overwhelmingly assume complete and clean skeleton inputs. In real-world deployments, such as egocentric vision, crowded surveillance, wearable devices, or edge robotics, limited field-of-view (FoV) frequently causes substantial joint visibility dropout, leading to severe performance degradation that existing models are largely unprepared to handle.

Fine-grained understanding of operating room (OR) activity could enable workflow-aware assistance, yet remains difficult due to clutter, occlusions, and limited sensing. The prevailing approach to model this environment is scene graphs as an interpretable representation of OR interactions.
arXiv:2608. 12187v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based methods have achieved strong performance in monocular 3D human pose estimation, but most existing approaches organise spatial and temporal reasoning as separate stages, which may weaken unified spatial-temporal interdependencies inherent in human motion and compress frame-level structural information before temporal modelling.

Driven by the availability of large-scale datasets, Human Pose Estimation (HPE) plays a critical role in numerous downstream tasks. However, mainstream benchmarks exhibit severe representation bias, predominantly featuring able-bodied individuals.

Human mesh recovery (HMR) aims to recover 3D human meshes from images. Most existing HMR benchmarks and methods focus on either multi-person reconstruction from a single view or single-person reconstruction from multiple views, where the number of subjects and the scene scale are relatively limited.
arXiv:2606. 31127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To enable personalized, real-time coaching using Augmented Reality glasses or fixed camera setups in domains such as sports, cooking, or music, a system must understand not just what a person does, but how well they execute an activity.

World models enable agents to perform forward rollout and planning without real-world interaction. However, their application in open-world embodied intelligence remains limited by the high cost of action annotations and the heterogeneity of action spaces across platforms.
Accurate monocular 4D hand reconstruction remains challenging. Per-frame discriminative regressors lack temporal context and often produce jittery predictions.
