Tamaththul3D: High-Fidelity 3D Saudi Sign Language Avatars from Monocular Video 文章

arXiv:2605.05367v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing 3D sign language avatar reconstruction methods are developed and evaluated exclusively on Western sign languages, and no 3D parametric annotations exist for any Arabic Sign Language dataset, a gap that blocks the development of avatar-based accessibility applications for the Arab Deaf community. We release the first SMPL-X parametric annotations for the Ishara-500 Saudi Sign Language dataset, enabling quantitative evaluation and downstream sign language generation for Arabic Sign Language. We introduce Tamaththul3D, a reconstruction pipeline that aligns hand and body estimates through geometric inverse kinematics on the forearm chain followed by 2D-supervised shoulder refinement. The closed-form integration is decoupled from the specific choice of body and hand estimators: any SMPL-X-compatible body estimator and any MANO-compatible hand estimator can be substituted, as we demonstrate by swapping each module independently.
