This is a repository for preprocessing, splitting, visualizing, and rendering (RGB, depth, segmentation masks) the ARCTIC dataset. Further, here, we provide code to reproduce our baseline models in our CVPR 2023 paper (Vancouver, British Columbia 🇨🇦) and developing custom models.

Our dataset contains heavily dexterous motion:

✨CVPR 2024 Highlight: HOLD is the first method that jointly reconstructs articulated hands and objects from monocular videos without assuming a pre-scanned object template and 3D hand-object training data. See our project page for details.

• 2023.12.20: MoCap can be downloaded now! See download instructions and visualization.
• 2023.09.11: ARCTIC leaderboard online!
• 2023.06.16: ICCV ARCTIC challenge starts!
• 2023.05.04: ARCTIC dataset with code for dataloaders, visualizers, models is officially announced (version 1.0)!
• 2023.03.25: ARCTIC ☃️ dataset (version 0.1) is available! 🎉

Summary on dataset:

• It contains 2.1M high-resolution images paired with annotated frames, enabling large-scale machine learning.
• Images are from 8x 3rd-person views and 1x egocentric view (for mixed-reality setting).
• It includes 3D groundtruth for SMPL-X, MANO, articulated objects.
• It is captured in a MoCap setup using 54 high-end Vicon cameras.
• It features highly dexterous bimanual manipulation motion (beyond quasi-static grasping).

Potential tasks with ARCTIC:

• Template-free bimanual hand-object reconstruction
• Generating hand grasp or motion with articulated objects
• Generating full-body grasp or motion with articulated objects
• Benchmarking performance of articulated object pose estimators from depth images with human in the scene
• Studying our NEW tasks of consistent motion reconstruction and interaction field estimation
• Studying egocentric hand-object reconstruction
• Reconstructing full-body with hands and articulated objects from RGB images
