TransHands: Repurposing Human Pose Encoders as Hand Pose Encoders
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.22341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lifting 3D hand poses from 2D monocular representations remains challenging due to the limited availability of large-scale, diverse 3D-annotated hand datasets, in contrast to the abundance of human body motion data. We address this limitation by transferring motion representations learned from large body pose corpora to the hand domain. We introduce TransHands, a backbone-agnostic transfer learning framework that enables pre-trained human motion encoders to be effectively adapted for 3D hand pose estimation from 2D pose inputs.
