Understanding motion in daily living requires context beyond kinematics, because similar inertial patterns during activities of daily living (ADLs) can reflect intentional stopping, object interaction, or pathological movement impairment. Egocentric vision provides task-related context that may help disambiguate these cases.
The paper introduces a cross‑modal distillation framework that combines the accuracy of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data with the practicality of video‑based gait analysis to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s patients. By extracting invariant latent topologies from a pre‑trained kinematic oracle, the method supervises a visual architecture and fuses skeletal graph nodes with continuous spatial pixels to handle severe spatial occlusion during continuous 360° turns. Experiments on a public multimodal dataset show that this approach reduces tracking entropy and achieves precise FOG predictions without requiring wearable sensors.

arXiv:2606. 27918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As a prominent symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), turning impairment is evaluated through parameters such as turning angle, duration, and particularly, the number of steps required to complete a turn, which directly reflects motor dysfunction.

RevalExo is a new benchmark for locomotion mode recognition that focuses on functional daily activities performed by older adults and clinical cohorts. It includes 27 participants from three groups—healthy older adults, stroke survivors, and older adults with probable sarcopenia—recorded with lower-body IMUs and, for a subset, synchronized egocentric video. The dataset offers 10.1 hours of frame‑level annotations across 11 locomotion modes, and the authors evaluate unimodal, multimodal, cross‑population, and cross‑modal recognition challenges, finding that sensor fusion improves performance but transitions and generalization remain difficult.

arXiv:2608. 06122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by recent evidence that transformer architectures benefit from Self-PreTraining (SPT) on long-context benchmarks, we investigate whether similar gains extend to multimodal, multivariate, and even simple univariate medical time series.
EgoHRV is a method that estimates heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) from the gaze cameras in egocentric headsets. It uses a 3D backbone and a low–high decomposition module to extract the blood volume pulse signal from gaze video, and aligns frequency‑domain representations of contact‑based and camera‑derived signals through cross‑domain pretraining. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy for HR and HRV estimation and, when integrated into EgoExo4D’s proficiency estimator, improves accuracy by 17.8%.
