Contact Tracing: A Low Cost Reconstruction Framework for Surface Contact Interpolation

Arjun Lakshmipathy,Dominik Bauer,Nancy S. Pollard,Arjun Lakshmipathy,Dominik Bauer,Nancy S. Pollard

We present a novel, low cost framework for reconstructing surface contact movements during in-hand manipulations. Unlike many existing methods focused on hand pose tracking, ours models the behavior of contact patches, and by doing so is the first to obtain detailed contact tracking estimates for multi-contact manipulations. Our framework is highly accessible, requiring only low cost, readily avai...
