Overview
Welcome to our HANDS@ECCV24.Our HANDS workshop will gather vision researchers working on perceiving hands performing actions, including 2D & 3D hand detection, segmentation, pose/shape estimation, tracking, etc. We will also cover related applications including gesture recognition, hand-object manipulation analysis, hand activity understanding, and interactive interfaces.
The eighth edition of this workshop will emphasize the use of large foundation models (e.g. CLIP, Point-E, Segment Anything, Latent Diffusion Models) for hand-related tasks. These models have revolutionized the perceptions of AI, and demonstrate groundbreaking contributions to multimodal understanding, zero-shot learning, and transfer learning. However, there remains an untapped potential for exploring their applications in hand-related tasks.

Title: Towards Capturing Everyday Movements to Scale Up and Enrich Human Motion Data Abstract: In this talk, I will present our lab's efforts to scale and enrich 3D human motion data by capturing everyday human movements and natural human-object interactions. I will begin by describing our new multi-camera system, ParaHome, designed to capture human-object interactions in a natural home environment. Next, I will introduce MocapEve, a lightweight, cost-effective motion capture solution that uses two smartwatches and a head-mounted camera, enabling full-body 3D motion capture in diverse settings. Finally, I will discuss our recent work, CHRUS and COMa, which enable machines to model comprehensive affordances for 3D objects by leveraging pre-trained 2D diffusion models, allowing for unbounded object interactions. | |

Title: Understanding Human-object Interactions for Enabling Generalizable Robot Manipulation Abstract: We humans continually use our hands to interact with the world around us. From making our morning coffee to cleaning dishes after dinner, we effortlessly perform a plethora of tasks in our everyday lives. A central goal in robot learning is to develop similar generalist agents — ones capable of performing a diverse set of tasks across a wide range of environments. In this talk, I will highlight some of our recent efforts to build perception systems that better understand human interactions and allow robots to act in diverse scenarios. I will show how learning a (3D) generative model over human-object interactions can allow reconstructing interactions from in-the-wild clips, and how (2D) generative models over human interactions can guide robots acting in the real world. | |

Title: Understanding Hand-Object Interaction – From human hand reconstruction and generation to dexterous manipulation of robotic hands Abstract: In recent years, humanoid robots and embodied intelligence have attracted extensive attentions. One of the most challenging of endowing humanoid robots with intelligence is human-like dexterous manipulation with robotic hands. Unlike simple parallel grippers, human-like multi-fingered hands involve a high degree of freedom and complex variations in hand-object interaction, making it difficult for humanoid robots to acquire these manipulation skills. This report will explore how to effectively use human manipulation experience to overcome these challenges and develop and transfer human-like dexterous manipulation skills. It will cover our recent works on hand-object reconstruction, grasp generation and motion planning, multi-modal pretraining with human manipulation data for robotic hands, etc. | |

Title: Foundations for 3D Digital Hand Avatars Abstract: What constitutes the foundation for 3D digital hand avatars? In this presentation, we aim to establish the essential components necessary for creating high-fidelity digital hand models. We argue that relighting, animation/interaction, and in-the-wild generalization are crucial for bringing high-quality avatars to everyone. We will discuss several relightable appearance representations that achieve a photorealistic appearance under various lighting conditions. Furthermore, we will introduce techniques to effectively model animation and interaction priors, and demonstrate how to estimate complex hand-to-hand and hand-to-object interactions, even with data captured in uncontrolled environments. Finally, the talk will cover bridging the domain gap between high-quality studio data and large-scale in-the-wild data, which is key to enhancing robustness and diversity in avatar modeling algorithms. We will also explore how these foundations can complement and enhance each other. | |

Title: HOT3D: A new benchmark dataset for vision-based understanding of 3D hand-object interactions Abstract: We introduce HOT3D, a publicly available dataset for egocentric hand and object tracking in 3D. The dataset offers over 833 minutes (more than 3.7M images) of multi-view RGB/monochrome image streams showing 19 subjects interacting with 33 diverse rigid objects, multi-modal signals such as eye gaze or scene point clouds, as well as comprehensive ground truth annotations including 3D poses of objects, hands, and cameras, and 3D models of hands and objects.In addition to simple pick-up/observe/putdown actions, HOT3D contains scenarios resembling typical actions in a kitchen, office, and living room environment. The dataset is recorded by two head-mounted devices from Meta: Project Aria, a research prototype of light-weight AR/AI glasses, and Quest 3, a production VR headset sold in millions of units. Ground-truth poses were obtained by a professional motion-capture system using small optical markers attached to hands and objects. Hand annotations are provided in the UmeTrack and MANO formats and objects are represented by 3D meshes with PBR materials obtained by an in-house scanner.We aim to accelerate research on egocentric hand-object interaction by making the HOT3D dataset publicly available and by co-organizing public challenges on the dataset. The dataset can be downloaded from the project website: facebookresearch.github.io | |
