Ego2HandsPose: A Dataset for Egocentric Two-hand 3D Global Pose Estimation

10 Jun 2022  ·  Fanqing Lin, Tony Martinez ·

Color-based two-hand 3D pose estimation in the global coordinate system is essential in many applications. However, there are very few datasets dedicated to this task and no existing dataset supports estimation in a non-laboratory environment. This is largely attributed to the sophisticated data collection process required for 3D hand pose annotations, which also leads to difficulty in obtaining instances with the level of visual diversity needed for estimation in the wild. Progressing towards this goal, a large-scale dataset Ego2Hands was recently proposed to address the task of two-hand segmentation and detection in the wild. The proposed composition-based data generation technique can create two-hand instances with quality, quantity and diversity that generalize well to unseen domains. In this work, we present Ego2HandsPose, an extension of Ego2Hands that contains 3D hand pose annotation and is the first dataset that enables color-based two-hand 3D tracking in unseen domains. To this end, we develop a set of parametric fitting algorithms to enable 1) 3D hand pose annotation using a single image, 2) automatic conversion from 2D to 3D hand poses and 3) accurate two-hand tracking with temporal consistency. We provide incremental quantitative analysis on the multi-stage pipeline and show that training on our dataset achieves state-of-the-art results that significantly outperforms other datasets for the task of egocentric two-hand global 3D pose estimation.
