Precise Hand Finger Width Estimation via RGB-D Data [PDF]

We propose a novel application of pose estimation to precisely measure the hand finger width via noisy RGB-D image. A framework is developed that estimates the finger width given data from TrueDepth camera as well as the target finger measure- ment location.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

CFAM: Estimating 3D Hand Poses from a Single RGB Image with Attention

Applied Sciences, 2020
Precise 3D hand pose estimation can be used to improve the performance of human−computer interaction (HCI). Specifically, computer-vision-based hand pose estimation can make this process more natural.

Visuo-Acoustic Hand Pose and Contact Estimation

CoRR
Accurately estimating hand pose and hand-object contact events is essential for robot data-collection, immersive virtual environments, and biomechanical analysis, yet remains challenging due to visual occlusion, subtle contact cues, limitations in vision-only sensing, and the lack of accessible and flexible tactile sensing.

Residual Attention Regression for 3D Hand Pose Estimation [PDF]

, 2019
3D hand pose estimation is an important and challenging task for virtual reality and human-computer interaction. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective residual attention regression model for accurate 3D hand pose estimation from a depth image. The model is trained in an end-to-end fashion.

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron

Hand Pose Estimation from Local Surface Normals [PDF]

, 2016
We present a hierarchical regression framework for estimating hand joint positions from single depth images based on local surface normals. The hierarchical regression follows the tree structured topology of hand from wrist to finger tips. We propose a conditional regression forest, i.e.

The 2017 Hands in the Million Challenge on 3D Hand Pose Estimation

CoRR, 2017
We present the 2017 Hands in the Million Challenge, a public competition designed for the evaluation of the task of 3D hand pose estimation. The goal of this challenge is to assess how far is the state of the art in terms of solving the problem of 3D hand pose estimation as well as detect major failure and strength modes of both systems and evaluation ...

Tracking Battery Microstructural Degradation Through Directional Thermal Transport Signatures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In lithium‐ion batteries, heat conduction varies between the through‐plane and in‐plane directions because of the cell's layered structure. Therefore, cell degradation influences thermal conductivity in each direction uniquely due to detailed microstructural and compositional changes.
