EgoPressDiff: Multimodal Video Diffusion for Egocentric UV-Domain Hand-Pressure Estimation

摘要

Estimating hand-surface contact pressure from an egocentric view is crucial for AR/VR devices, robotic imitation, and ergonomic analysis. Existing methods often discretize pressure signal and process frames independently, leading to quantization errors and temporal inconsistencies. We present \emph{EgoPressDiff}, a conditional video diffusion framework that generates UV-pressure maps from visual input. The core of our approach is a multi-modal conditioning strategy, introducing a PoseNet and a Vertex Encoder to efficiently extract features from hand pose and 3D mesh vertices. These signals, along with depth information, guide the generative process to ensure the pressure fields are physically grounded. To effectively fuse these heterogeneous features, we further propose a Distribution-Calibrated Spatial Layer, which aligns their statistical properties before combination. Evaluated on the EgoPressure ego-view setting, EgoPressDiff achieves state-of-the-art results, improving Volumetric IoU by over 34\% relative to prior baseline, while reducing MAE and maintaining high temporal accuracy.
