Hand Visibility Detector: Per-Keypoint Visibility Estimation for Hands
The paper treats hand-joint visibility as its own prediction task, not just a helper for pose estimation.
Hand Visibility Detector estimates whether individual hand keypoints are visible in an image, addressing occlusion cases that standard hand pose systems often leave implicit. The authors say pretrained hand pose estimation backbones provide strong prior knowledge for the task. They also test the detector in 3D hand pose annotation, where visibility-weighted multi-view triangulation lowers reprojection error. The method is released as a package with code and a demo.
