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 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.
arXiv:2607. 17790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Egocentric devices, such as wearable front-facing cameras, provide a unique perspective for capturing the continuous interaction between a human viewer and the surrounding environment.
Egocentric devices, such as wearable front-facing cameras, provide a unique perspective for capturing the continuous interaction between a human viewer and the surrounding environment. A holistic and efficient multimodal model capable of reconstructing this 4D representation is therefore highly desirable.
arXiv:2609.01276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complete 3D perception from egocentric video requires recovering the surrounding scene and the wearer's full-body motion in a shared metric frame. Exis...
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.
