Hand-Object Interaction Reasoning
share
This paper proposes an interaction reasoning network for modelling spatio-temporal relationships between hands and objects in video. The proposed interaction unit utilises a Transformer module to reason about each acting hand, and its spatio-temporal relation to the other hand as well as objects being interacted with. We show that modelling two-handed interactions are critical for action recognition in egocentric video, and demonstrate that by using positionally-encoded trajectories, the network can better recognise observed interactions. We evaluate our proposal on EPIC-KITCHENS and Something-Else datasets, with an ablation study.
