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.

EventEgoHands++: Event-based Egocentric 3D Hand Mesh Reconstruction with Real Dataset

EventEgoHands++ is a new framework for reconstructing 3D hand meshes from egocentric event-based cameras. It introduces a Hand Detector that provides instance-level bounding boxes and masks for left and right hands, and an Adaptive Attention module that uses these detections to model spatial relationships and interactions. The authors extend the synthetic N-HOT3D dataset and create EEH‑R, a large real-world event-based egocentric hand dataset with about 1 million annotated frames, and show that their method outperforms existing baselines on both synthetic and real data.

4DStreamCtrl: Interactive Video Generation with Online 4D Control

The paper introduces 4DStreamCtrl, a system that unifies camera motion, object trajectories, and depth into a single 3D point‑track representation, enabling joint control, depth editing, and motion transfer in a single forward pass. By mining in‑the‑wild video for 3D motion supervision and encoding it with a lightweight Geometric Motion Head, the authors train a causal streaming student that can generate arbitrarily long videos in just four denoising steps, achieving 20 FPS on a single high‑end GPU for 480p video. This approach outperforms prior camera‑only, 2D, and offline‑3D methods in motion‑control precision while maintaining temporal coherence over hundreds of frames, thereby enabling interactive 4D‑controllable streaming generation for the first time.

BinoGen: Scaling egocentric binocular data for embodied visual perception and learning

BinoGen is an automated framework that generates large-scale, embodiment-aware egocentric binocular visual experiences in indoor environments. It models environmental and observer variation through generative scene synthesis, probabilistic object instantiation, appearance randomization, stochastic trajectory generation, and configurable binocular camera setups, producing synchronized videos with dense multimodal supervision such as depth maps, optical flow, surface normals, semantic maps, object coordinates, and camera poses. Using BinoGen, the authors created a dataset of over 20 million annotated images, demonstrating that incorporating this data improves real-world visual perception tasks like depth estimation, object detection, and video object tracking, and that embodiment-specific adaptation enhances performance while joint training enables a single model to perform competitively across different observer embodiments.
