The human-object interaction (HOI) detection task refers to localizing humans, localizing objects, and predicting the interactions between each human-object pair. HOI is considered one of the fundamental steps in truly understanding complex…
Detecting firearms and accurately localizing individuals carrying them in images or videos is of paramount importance in security, surveillance, and content customization. However, this task presents significant challenges in complex…
Generating grasps for a dexterous hand often requires numerous grasping annotations. However, annotating high DoF dexterous hand poses is quite challenging. Especially for functional grasps, requiring the hand to grasp the object in a…
