Accurate 3D interacting hand mesh reconstruction from RGB images is crucial for applications such as robotics, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). Especially in the field of robotics, accurate interacting hand mesh reconstruction can significantly improve the accuracy and naturalness of human-robot interaction. This task requires accurate understanding of complex interactions between two hands and ensuring reasonable alignment of the hand mesh with the image. Recent Transformer-based methods directly utilise the features of the two hands as input tokens, ignoring the correlation between local and global features of the interacting hands, leading to hand ambiguity, self-obscuration and self-similarity problems.We propose LGNet, Local and Global Feature Adaptive Network, by decoupling the hand mesh reconstruction task into three stages: a joint stage for predicting hand joints; a mesh stage for predicting a rough hand mesh; and a refine stage for fine-tuning the mesh image alignment using an offset mesh. LGNet enables high-quality fingertip-level mesh image alignment, effectively models the spatial relationship between two hands, and supports real-time prediction. Extensive quantitative and qualitative results on benchmark datasets show that LGNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of mesh accuracy and image alignment, and demonstrates strong generalisation capabilities in experiments on in-the-wild images. Our source code will be made available to the community.
The overall architecture of Local-and-Global Feature Adaptive Network (LGNet).
The joint stage aims to extract hand features (F_R or F_L) from the input image, fuse them into global interaction features, and adapt them to each hand (F_R* or F_L*). Subsequently, the joint feature extractor derives the predicted 2.5D joint coordinates (J_R or J_L) and joint features (F_JR or F_JL) for each hand from the adapted features (F_R* or F_L*).
The mesh stage feeds the augmented joint features (F_JR* or F_JL*) to the regressor for recovering the rough 3D hand mesh (V_R or V_L).
The refine stage fuses the image features, local interaction features, and global interaction features from the joint stage and passes them to the graph convolutional layer (GCN) to regress the offset mesh ΔM and generate the final hand mesh M_f = M_r + ΔM.
The overall architecture of Local-and-Global Feature Adaptive Block (LGBlock).
Step 1. Local unit for hand local interaction feature extraction. Local interaction features F_inter^local are extracted by fusing two hand features (F_R and F_L).
Step 2. Global unit for global interaction feature adaptation. The global interaction feature F_inter^global is obtained by fusing the local interaction feature (F_interR and F_interL) and adapted to each hand.
Visualization of attention maps in pseudo color. Ten independent examples are shown. In each example, from left to right is the input image, local stage attention map overlaid on the image, and global stage attention map. For the local stage attention map, red represents attention from the right hand, and blue represents attention from the left hand. Brighter colors indicate stronger attention. For the global attention map, brighter colors indicate stronger cross-hand attention. All attention maps have been normalized for better visualization.
