ESTHER：面向野外场景的自我中心立体手部估计与重建

View PDF HTML (experimental)

Abstract:Human dexterity is guided by two eyes watching two hands: binocular vision supplies the metric 3D structure that fine-grained manipulation consumes. Egocentric stereo is therefore the natural perceptual interface for robots, AR, and VR-yet metric 3D hand reconstruction from this very signal still has neither an end-to-end model nor an in-the-wild benchmark. We propose ESTHER, a model whose stereo geometry, temporal reasoning, and output representation are designed for wearable egocentric stereo. It is trained on pseudo-labels from a calibrated labeling pipeline and in turn assembles our benchmark ESTHER3D, an egocentric stereo hand dataset pairing a large in-the-wild training set of model-generated labels with a motion capture test set of true metric ground truth. Experiments show state-of-the-art accu?racy, superior external generalization, and robustness to the missing views, dropped frames, and lighting and motion blur extremes of real egocentric capture that break existing meth?ods. This robustness runs deeper than graceful degradation: stereo guidance teaches the model to bind apparent hand scale to metric depth, so it not only adapts to different stereo rigs and modalities with minimal fine-tuning, but more strikingly preserves true metric scale even after collapsing to a single monocular view.
