Researchers introduce OMG-Bench, the first large-scale benchmark for skeleton-based online micro hand gesture recognition, and propose HMATr, an end-to-end framework that integrates hierarchical memory and learnable position-aware queries. HMATr achieved an 89.2% Detection Rate on OMG-Bench with an inference time of 1.61ms, outperforming existing methods for both micro and macro gesture recognition.

Key insights

  • High-quality, multi-view derived skeleton data, combined with precise semi-automatic annotation, is essential for creating effective benchmarks for subtle micro gestures.
  • Hierarchical temporal memory, integrating both fine-grained frame-level and abstract window-level context, is critical for robust online recognition of rapid and continuous micro gestures.
  • Position-aware queries can effectively unify detection and classification, providing a flexible mechanism to localize and categorize subtle gestures within continuous data streams without relying on explicit anchors or two-stage pipelines.
