Abstract
Detecting hand actions in videos is crucial for understanding video content
and has diverse real-world applications. Existing approaches often focus on
whole-body actions or coarse-grained action categories, lacking fine-grained
hand-action localization information. To fill this gap, we introduce the
FHA-Kitchens (Fine-Grained Hand Actions in Kitchen Scenes) dataset, providing
both coarse- and fine-grained hand action categories along with localization
annotations. This dataset comprises 2,377 video clips and 30,047 frames,
annotated with approximately 200k bounding boxes and 880 action categories.
Evaluation of existing action detection methods on FHA-Kitchens reveals varying
generalization capabilities across different granularities. To handle
multi-granularity in hand actions, we propose MG-HAD, an End-to-End
Multi-Granularity Hand Action Detection method. It incorporates two new
designs: Multi-dimensional Action Queries and Coarse-Fine Contrastive
Denoising. Extensive experiments demonstrate MG-HAD's effectiveness for
multi-granularity hand action detection, highlighting the significance of
FHA-Kitchens for future research and real-world applications. The dataset and
source code are available at https://github.com/superZ678/MG-HAD.
