ContactPose

Download and pre-processing utilities + Python dataloader for the ContactPose dataset. The dataset was introduced in the following ECCV 2020 paper: ContactPose: A Dataset of Grasps with Object Contact and Hand Pose -

Samarth Brahmbhatt, Chengcheng Tang, Christopher D. Twigg, Charles C. Kemp, and James Hays

Example ContactPose data: Contact Maps, 3D hand pose, and RGB-D grasp images for functional grasps.
