A high-resolution and whole-body dataset of hand-object contact areas based on 3D scanning method

Abstract Hand contact data, reflecting the intricate behaviours of human hands during object operation, exhibits significant potential for analysing hand operation patterns to guide the design of hand-related sensors and robots, and predicting object properties. However, these potential applications...

description Abstract Hand contact data, reflecting the intricate behaviours of human hands during object operation, exhibits significant potential for analysing hand operation patterns to guide the design of hand-related sensors and robots, and predicting object properties. However, these potential applications are hindered by the constraints of low resolution and incomplete capture of the hand contact data. Leveraging a non-contact and high-precision 3D scanning method for surface capture, a high-resolution and whole-body hand contact dataset, named as Ti3D-contact, is constructed in this work. The dataset, with an average resolution of 0.72 mm, contains 1872 sets of texture images and 3D models. The contact area during hand operation is whole-body painted on gloves, which are captured as the high-resolution original hand contact data through a 3D scanner. Reliability validation on Ti3D-contact is conducted and hand movement classification with 95% precision is achieved using the acquired hand contact dataset. The properties of high-resolution and whole-body capturing make the acquired dataset exhibit a promising potential application in hand posture recognition and hand movement prediction.
