Efficient Deep Architectures for Hand Pose Estimation from Color Images
The project aims to develope efficient deep learning algorithms for human hand pose estimation from standard RGB camera images. State-of-the art approaches for hand pose estimation rely on depth cameras due to the inherent high-information content of depth images for the pose estimation problem as well as the availability of large-scale annotated depth datasets with ground-truth hand joint locations. Despite their recent success these algorithms are neither cost effective nor power efficient, which pose a barrier in application areas which need low-power, small-size and low-cost requirements.
Your mission
The project’s objective is to overcome this barrier by developing efficient deep learning architectures that would work solely on standard color image sequences. Due to the lack of large annotated RGB datasets in the public domain we plan to tackle this problem with a teacher-student learning paradigm, which involves training on a RGB-only deep network from a pre-trained state-of-the-art depth-based one using an RGBD sensor to collect synchronized RGB and depth image pairs.
To analyse state of the are in hand pose estimation from various data modalities, and develope as well as train an RGB image-based deep network model entirely from public resources. Along with accuracy, computational and power efficiency of the network are major factors that will be considered from the beginning of the study. The candidate is expected to present their results at the end of the project, which will last a minimum of 6 months.
