Human hands, an essential component of the human body, play a vital role in interacting with and sensing real-world objects and are a reliable medium in modern technology for developing human-computer-interaction (HCI). Human Hand Pose Estimation (HPE) is challenging for numerous Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications due to the strong self-occlusion of the hands, depth ambiguity, and agile movement. Implementation of vision-based hand pose estimation algorithms can give a breath of innovation of these AI applications to overcome the challenges. We proposed a framework called Cascaded Deep Graphical Convolutional Neural Network (DCGCN, where Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCnet) is used for computing unary and pairwise potential functions. A graphical model inference module is used for cascading unary and pairwise potentials. Evaluating the generated results via subjective and objective analysis, our DCDCN outperforms the state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy and computational cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
