Fish2Mesh Transformer accurately recovers 3D human meshes from egocentric fisheye camera images by incorporating a novel Egocentric Position Embedding to account for lens distortions. The system consistently surpasses state-of-the-art methods in precision, achieving a 11.2% reduction in PA-MPJPE on the ECHP dataset compared to EgoHMR, and demonstrates improved robustness through prompt-based data augmentation.

Key insights

  • Explicitly embedding 3D spatial context derived from equirectangular projection into a learnable position embedding effectively mitigates fisheye lens distortions within a transformer architecture.
  • A multi-component loss function, combining SMPL, orientation, and joint losses, ensures robust geometric consistency for accurate egocentric 3D human mesh recovery.
  • Augmenting datasets with naturalistic, prompt-driven actions, including those causing self-occlusions, significantly enhances a model's ability to generalize to real-world egocentric scenarios.
