• Multi-Camera Egocentric Hand Pose Estimation

  In this project, we aim to develop a new method for multi-camera egocentric hand pose estimation. Using cameras mounted on the head, wrists, and pelvis, the project explores how multiple egocentric viewpoints can be combined to overcome occlusions and achieve more accurate 3D hand tracking.

• Motion capture, localization, and dense scene mapping from body-worn multimodal cameras

  We will integrate visual SLAM into a deep learning-based method to jointly estimate human 3D poses and surrounding scenes from multimodal body-worn cameras. The project focuses on the experimentation, design, and training of models that combine visual SLAM with learning-based pose estimation.
  For development, we will use a synthetic and a real-world dataset of 6 body-worn cameras that we have with ground-truth 3D full-body poses.
  The focus of this project will be on model development. We have already collected a dataset with multiple body-worn cameras and ground truth.
