SUMMARY:[CML Seminar] Deying Kong: Handformer2T: A Lightweight Regression-b
 ased model for Interacting Hands Pose Estimation from a single RGB Image
LOCATION:Donald Bren Hall 4011
DESCRIPTION:Deying Kong\, Software Engineer\, Google\n\nTitle: Handformer2T
 : A Lightweight Regression-based model for Interacting Hands Pose Estimati
 on from a single RGB Image\n\nAbstract: Despite its extensive range of pot
 ential applications in virtual reality and augmented reality\, 3D interact
 ing hand pose estimation from an RGB image remains a very challenging prob
 lem\, due to appearance confusions between keypoints of the two hands\, an
 d severe hand-hand occlusion. Due to their ability to capture long range r
 elationships between keypoints\, transformer-based methods have gained pop
 ularity. However\, existing methods usually deploy tokens at keypoint leve
 l\, which results in high computational and memory complexity. In this tal
 k\, we propose a novel mechanism\, hand-level tokenization\, where we depl
 oy only one token for each hand. We also propose a pose query enhancer mod
 ule\, which refines the pose prediction iteratively. As a result\, our pro
 posed model\, Handformer2T\, can achieve high performance while remaining 
 lightweight.\n\nhttps://cml.ics.uci.edu/seminars/2023-12-04-deying-kong
