HOPE: Hand-Object Pressure Estimation from Monocular Videos

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

HOPE is a framework that estimates hand‑object pressure from monocular videos by treating pressure estimation as a hand‑centric video prediction task. It lifts diverse pressure and contact annotations into a shared hand vertex space and uses a vertex‑anchored video transformer with a contact‑gated pressure head to predict temporally evolving per‑vertex normal pressure and contact. Experiments on multiple datasets show that HOPE generalizes to bare‑hand egocentric and in‑the‑wild videos, outperforming baselines that rely only on contact or planar pressure.

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.
