Egocentric Data

Egocentric data, encompassing first-person perspectives captured by wearable cameras, fuels research aiming to understand human activities and interactions within 3D environments. Current research focuses on developing robust methods for 3D scene reconstruction, object tracking, and human pose estimation from this challenging data modality, often employing deep learning architectures like transformers and neural radiance fields. These advancements are driving progress in human-computer interaction, robotics, and augmented/virtual reality applications by enabling more natural and intuitive interfaces and more realistic simulations of human behavior. The availability of large-scale, richly annotated egocentric datasets, including both real and synthetic data, is crucial for this progress.
