New MotorSense dataset links video and EMG for enhanced action understanding

Researchers have introduced MotorSense, a novel dataset designed to enhance action understanding in computer vision models by incorporating underlying motor signals. This dataset pairs egocentric video with synchronized electromyography (EMG) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data, capturing 100 hours of unscripted manipulation. By leveraging EMG signals, which are less prone to occlusion and bias than manual annotations, the dataset facilitates sensorimotor alignment. This alignment has shown improved performance in downstream tasks such as action recognition, 3D hand reconstruction, and 3D contact reconstruction, outperforming conventional self-supervised learning methods.

    MotorSense: A Video-EMG Dataset of Motoric Representations for Action Understanding

    arXiv:2610.41127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer vision models learn hand action only from its visual consequences, without access to the underlying embodied motor signals. We address this absence with MotorSense, the first large-scale paired egocentric video and surface …
