This project provides codes to evaluate performances of hand pose estimation on several public datasets, including NYU, ICVL, MSRA hand pose dataset. We collect predicted labels of some prior work which are available online and visualize the performances.
There are two types of evaluation metrics that are widely used for hand pose estimation:
(1) Mean error for each joint
(2) Success rate:
- The proportion of test frames whose average error falls below a threshold
- The proportion of test frames whose maximum error falls below a threshold
- The proportion of all joints whose error falls below a threshold

Note that only 14 out of 36 joints are used for evaluation and we use the joints with id [0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 25, 27, 30, 31, 32]. All labels are in the format of (u, v, d) where u and v are pixel coordinates.
-
The code to plot errors over different yaw and pitch angles for MSRA is still under construction and needs further improvement. Stay tuned.
-
For Lie-X, the original predicted labels are in format of (x, y, z) and the order of joints is different. We convert the labels from xyz to uvd and permute the order of joints to keep consistent with other methods (see src/convert_results_xyz2uvd_LieX.py).
-
For DenseReg, we convert the original predicted labels from xyz to uvd (see src/convert_results_xyz2uvd_denseReg.py).
-
Since DeepPrior[4] and DeepPrior++[9] only provide predicted labels of Sequence A (702 frames) for ICVL dataset (totally 1596 frames for two test sequences), we haven't included these method in comparisons for ICVL dataset yet.
-
DeepPrior++[9] also provides predicted labels of for MSRA dataset online. However, the results seem to be shuffled so we haven't included these results yet, stay tuned.
-
For 3DCNN, HandPointNet and Point-to-Point, we convert the original predicted labels from xyz to uvd (see src/convert_results_xyz2uvd_Ge.py).
-
The annotations for MSRA dataset for V2V-PoseNet are slightly different from prior work (see the discussions here) so we haven't included its results yet.
Use the python code to show the evaluation results:
python compute_error.py icvl/nyu/msra max-frame/mean-frame/joint method_names in_files
The first parameter indicates which dataset is being evaluated while the second one indicates which type of success rate that is listed above is being chosen. The following parameters specify the names of methods and their corresponding predict label files.
We provide easy-to-use bash scripts to display performances of some methods, just run the following command:
sh evaluate_{dataset}.sh
