Local and Global Point Cloud Reconstruction for 3D Hand Pose Estimation

13 Dec 2021  ·  Ziwei Yu, Linlin Yang, Shicheng Chen, Angela Yao ·

This paper addresses the 3D point cloud reconstruction and 3D pose estimation of the human hand from a single RGB image. To that end, we present a novel pipeline for local and global point cloud reconstruction using a 3D hand template while learning a latent representation for pose estimation. To demonstrate our method, we introduce a new multi-view hand posture dataset to obtain complete 3D point clouds of the hand in the real world. Experiments on our newly proposed dataset and four public benchmarks demonstrate the model's strengths. Our method outperforms competitors in 3D pose estimation while reconstructing realistic-looking complete 3D hand point clouds.
