Grasp in Gaussians: Fast Monocular Reconstruction of Dynamic Hand-Object Interactions

Grasp in Gaussians (GraG) is a fast, robust method for reconstructing dynamic 3D hand‑object interactions from a single monocular video. It leverages pretrained hand and object priors and represents the scene with a compact Sum‑of‑Gaussians (SoG) model, enabling efficient tracking while preserving geometric fidelity. Experiments show GraG achieves temporally coherent reconstructions on long sequences 4.4×–38.9× faster than prior work.

Object Reconstruction under Occlusion with Generative Priors and Contact-induced Constraints

The paper presents a method for reconstructing object geometry under occlusion by combining generative shape priors with contact-based constraints. Generative models provide plausible guesses for unseen parts, while contact information from videos or physical interactions supplies sparse boundary constraints. The authors integrate these cues through a contact-guided 3D generation framework, demonstrating improved reconstruction on synthetic and real-world datasets compared to baseline approaches.
