A new task, egocentric 3D action target prediction, is introduced to forecast the 3D location of future hand-object interactions from a first-person view. To support this, the EgoPAT3D dataset is created, and a baseline model leveraging RGB-D and IMU data is proposed, showing that prediction error decreases as more temporal information becomes available.

Key insights

  • The integration of both visual (RGB-D) and motion (IMU) data is crucial for robust 3D action target prediction, as these modalities provide complementary information.
  • The proposed truncated weighted regression loss (TWRLoss) is more effective than standard loss functions for this task, particularly in encouraging accurate early predictions.
  • The research establishes that egocentric 3D action target prediction is feasible, with prediction accuracy improving as more temporal information becomes available.
