The objective of this work is to segment human body parts from egocentric video using semantic segmentation networks. Our contribution is two-fold: i) we create a semi-synthetic dataset composed of more than 15, 000 realistic images and…
Hand pose represents key information for action recognition in the egocentric perspective, where the user is interacting with objects. We propose to improve egocentric 3D hand pose estimation based on RGB frames only by using pseudo-depth…
A large number of works in egocentric vision have concentrated on action and object recognition. Detection and segmentation of hands in first-person videos, however, has less been explored. For many applications in this domain, it is…
