Egocentric vision (a.k.a. first-person vision - FPV) applications have
thrived over the past few years, thanks to the availability of affordable
wearable cameras and large annotated datasets. The position of the wearable
camera (usually mounted on the head) allows recording exactly what the camera
wearers have in front of them, in particular hands and manipulated objects.
This intrinsic advantage enables the study of the hands from multiple
perspectives: localizing hands and their parts within the images; understanding
what actions and activities the hands are involved in; and developing
human-computer interfaces that rely on hand gestures. In this survey, we review
the literature that focuses on the hands using egocentric vision, categorizing
the existing approaches into: localization (where are the hands or parts of
them?); interpretation (what are the hands doing?); and application (e.g.,
systems that used egocentric hand cues for solving a specific problem).
Moreover, a list of the most prominent datasets with hand-based annotations is
provided.
