Anirudh Thatipelli, Shao-Yuan Lo, Amit K. Roy-Chowdhury

Egocentric vision captures the scene from the point of view of the camera wearer while exocentric vision captures the overall scene context. Jointly modeling ego and exo views is crucial to developing next-generation AI agents. The community has regained interest in the field of egocentric vision. While the third-person view and first-person have been thoroughly investigated, very few works aim to study both synchronously. Exocentric videos contain many relevant signals that are transferrable to egocentric videos. In this paper, we provide a broad overview of works combining egocentric and exocentric visions.
