• Update - Nov 3rd, 2024

  We have now released the ground-truth annotations for HO-3D v2 and v3 datasets.

  Dataset	GT download link	Command for running eval locally
  HO-3D v2	link	python3 eval.py <input_dir_with_pred_and_gt> <output_dir_for_results> --version v2
  HO-3D v3	link	python3 eval.py <input_dir_with_pred_and_gt> <output_dir_for_results> --version v3

• Update - Mar 29th, 2022

  We have released version 1 of H₂O-3D dataset which contains 2 hands and an object interaction. The annotations are obtained using the HOnnotate method similar to the HO-3D dataset and hence contains the annotations in the same format. The dataset can be downloaded from here. This repo now also contains a script for visualizing H₂O-3D dataset, vis_H2O3D.py

• Update - Juy 1st, 2021

  We have now released version 3 of the HO-3D dataset (HO-3D_v3) with more accurate hand-object poses. See this report and official website for details and links. The annotation format and folder structure follows almost the same format as the previous version (HO-3D_v2) and hence replacing the old dataset with the new one should work just fine. The only change being all the rgb images are now in 'jpg' format instead of 'png' format due to storage constraints.

  A new codalab challenge for version 3 has been created here. Submission to this new challenge follows the exact same format as for version 2.

HO-3D and H₂O-3D are datasets with 3D pose annotations for hands and object under severe occlusions from each other. The HO-3D dataset contains sequences of right hand interacting with an object and was released as part of the CVPR'20 paper, HOnnotate. The H₂O-3D dataset contains sequences of two hands interacting with an object and was released as part of the CVPR'22 paper, Keypoint Transformer.

The sequences in the dataset contain different persons manipulating different objects, which are taken from YCB dataset. Details about the proposed annotation method can be found in our paper. The HO-3D (version 3) dataset contains 103,462 annotated images and their corresponding depth maps. The H₂O-3D (version 1) dataset contains 76,340 annotated images and their corresponding depth maps.

For more details about the dataset and the corresponding work, visit our project page

An online codalab challenge which provides a platform to evaluate different hand pose estimation methods on our dataset with standard metrics is launched here (for version 2) and here (for version 3)

This repository contains a collection of scripts for:

• Visualization of HO-3D dataset
• Visualization of H₂O-3D dataset
• Evaluation scripts used in the challenges

1. Install basic requirements:

   conda create -n python2.7 python=2.7
   source activate python2.7
   pip install numpy matplotlib scikit-image transforms3d tqdm opencv-python cython open3d
   

2. Download Models&code from the MANO website

   https://mano.is.tue.mpg.de
   

3. Assuming ${MANO_PATH} contains the path to where you unpacked the downloaded archive, use the provided script to setup the MANO folder as required.

   python setup_mano.py ${MANO_PATH}
   

4. Download the YCB object models by clicking on The YCB-Video 3D Models in [https://rse-lab.cs.washington.edu/projects/posecnn/]. Assume ${YCB_PATH} is the path where you unpacked the object models into (path to where models folder branches off)

5. Download the HO-3D dataset. See project page for instructions.

6. Assuming ${DB_PATH} is the path to where you unpacked the dataset (path to where ./train/ and ./evaluation/ folder branch off), This should enable you to run the following to show some dataset samples.

   python vis_HO3D.py ${DB_PATH} ${YCB_PATH}
   python vis_HO3D.py ${DB_PATH} ${YCB_PATH} -split 'evaluation'
   python vis_HO3D.py ${DB_PATH} ${YCB_PATH} -visType 'open3d'
   
   python vis_H2O3D.py ${DB_PATH} ${YCB_PATH}
   python vis_H2O3D.py ${DB_PATH} ${YCB_PATH} -split 'evaluation'
   python vis_H2O3D.py ${DB_PATH} ${YCB_PATH} -visType 'open3d'  
   

The script provides parameters to visualize the annotations in 3D using open3d or in 2D in matplotlib window. Use -visType to set the visualization type. The script also provides parameters to visualize samples in the training and evaluation split using the parameters -split.

In order to have consistent evaluation of the hand pose estimation algorithms on HO-3D dataset, evaluation is handled through CodaLab competition.

1. Make predictions for the evaluation dataset. The code provided here predicts zeros for all joints and vertices. ${ver} specifies the version of the dataset ('v2' or 'v3')

   python pred.py ${DB_PATH} --version ${ver}
   

2. Zip the pred.json file

   zip -j pred.zip pred.json
   

3. Upload pred.zip to our Codalab competition (version 2 or version3)website (Participate -> Submit)

4. Wait for the evaluation server to report back your results and publish your results to the leaderboard. The zero predictor will give you the following results

   Mean joint error 56.87cm
   Mean joint error (procrustes alignment) 5.19cm
   Mean joint error (scale and trans alignment) NaN
   Mesh error 57.12cm
   Mesh error (procrustes alignment) 5.47cm
   F@5mm=0.0, F@15mm=0.0
   F_aliged@5mm= 0.000, F_aligned@15mm=0.017
   

5. Modify pred.py to use your method for making hand pose estimation and see how well it performs compared to the baselines. Note that the pose estimates need to be in OpenGL coordinate system (hand is along negative z-axis in a right-handed coordinate system with origin at camera optic center) during the submission.

6. The calculation of the evaluation metrics can be found in eval.py

We provide the extrinsic camera parameters in 'calibration' folder of the dataset. The RGB-D data from all the cameras for multi-camera sequences can be combined to visualize the point-cloud using the below script:

 python vis_pcl_all_cameras.py ${DB_PATH} --seq SEQ --fid FID

SEQ and FID are the sequence name and file name. Try -h for list of accepted sequence names.

We manually annotated 5 finger tip locations in 53 frames using the point-cloud from all the cameras. The manually annotated finger tip locations are provided in 'manual_annotations' folder of the dataset. We measure the accuracy of our automatic annotations by comparing with the manual annotations using the below script:

python compare_manual_anno.py ${DB_PATH}
