HOPE: Hand-Object Pressure Estimation from Monocular Videos

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Estimating physical pressure from vision is essential for understanding contact-rich hand-object interaction. However, prior vision-based pressure estimation methods are largely limited to planar surfaces and single image input, making them difficult to apply to dynamic hand-object interaction with diverse objects.

TouchSight: Bare-Handed Tactile Prediction from Egocentric Video via Generative Visual Augmentation

TouchSight is a monocular egocentric vision framework that predicts dense full-hand contact forces without tactile sensors. It uses 500 hours of pressure-glove data and a 20-hour TwinTouch-20H dataset where generative models render gloved recordings as bare-hand videos, bridging the appearance gap. The system outperforms previous methods on OakInk2, generalizes to unseen natural bare-hand egocentric videos, and improves as glove supervision increases.

TouchSight: Bare-Handed Tactile Prediction from Egocentric Video via Generative Visual Augmentation

TouchSight is a monocular egocentric vision framework that predicts dense full-hand contact forces from video. It uses 500 hours of pressure‑glove recordings and hand‑object interaction data, and introduces TwinTouch‑20H, a dataset of 20 hours of paired visual data where generative models render gloved recordings as bare‑hand observations while preserving tactile labels. The system outperforms prior methods on OakInk2, generalizes qualitatively to natural bare‑hand egocentric videos from unseen datasets, and improves consistently as glove supervision scales.

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.
