Hierarchically Structured Neural Bones for Reconstructing Animatable Objects from Casual VideosSubin Jeon, In Cho, Minsu Kim et al.
We propose a new framework for creating and easily manipulating 3D models of arbitrary objects using casually captured videos. Our core ingredient is a novel hierarchy deformation model, which captures motions of objects with a tree-structured bones. Our hierarchy system decomposes motions based on the granularity and reveals the correlations between parts without exploiting any prior structural knowledge. We further propose to regularize the bones to be positioned at the basis of motions, centers of parts, sufficiently covering related surfaces of the part. This is achieved by our bone occupancy function, which identifies whether a given 3D point is placed within the bone. Coupling the proposed components, our framework offers several clear advantages: (1) users can obtain animatable 3D models of the arbitrary objects in improved quality from their casual videos, (2) users can manipulate 3D models in an intuitive manner with minimal costs, and (3) users can interactively add or delete control points as necessary. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our framework on diverse instances, in reconstruction quality, interpretability and easier manipulation. Our code is available at https://github.com/subin6/HSNB.

HRDexDB: A Large-Scale Dataset of Dexterous Human and Robotic Hand GraspsJongbin Lim, Taeyun Ha, Mingi Choi et al.
We present HRDexDB, a large-scale, multi-modal dataset of high-fidelity dexterous grasping sequences featuring both human and diverse robotic hands. Unlike existing datasets, HRDexDB provides a comprehensive collection of grasping trajectories across human hands and multiple robot hand embodiments, spanning 100 diverse objects. Leveraging state-of-the-art vision methods and a new dedicated multi-camera system, our HRDexDB offers high-precision spatiotemporal 3D ground-truth motion for both the agent and the manipulated object. To facilitate the study of physical interaction, HRDexDB includes high-resolution tactile signals, synchronized multi-view video, and egocentric video streams. The dataset comprises 1.4K grasping trials, encompassing both successes and failures, each enriched with visual, kinematic, and tactile modalities. By providing closely aligned captures of human dexterity and robotic execution on the same target objects under comparable grasping motions, HRDexDB serves as a foundational benchmark for multi-modal policy learning and cross-domain dexterous manipulation.

Scenes as Objects, Not Primitives: Instance-Structured 3D Tokenization from Unposed ViewsMijin Yoo, In Cho, Subin Jeon et al.
A 3D scene is understood through its objects, not the primitives that compose them. Yet feed-forward reconstruction methods output dense, unstructured sets of points or Gaussians, leaving object-level structure to be recovered after the fact. We propose a feed-forward framework that decomposes a scene into instance-structured 3D token groups directly from unposed multi-view images -- compact object-centric units from which reconstruction, segmentation, and manipulation all follow. Each token group pairs an instance token capturing entity-level identity with anchor tokens that encode local geometry and appearance, which are decoded into a set of 3D Gaussians. This two-level factorization decouples object identity from local appearance, making object instances a native interface of the representation rather than a derived product. The token groups are learned through differentiable rendering with joint reconstruction and segmentation supervision, requiring no 3D annotations. Our feed-forward model surpasses per-scene optimization baselines in class-agnostic instance segmentation while remaining competitive in novel view synthesis. Beyond these metrics, the same token groups directly unlock instance-level scene editing -- removing, translating, or inserting objects by operating on their groups -- as well as efficient open-vocabulary 3D instance retrieval, where retrieval complexity scales with the number of instances rather than primitives.

Cross-Identity Motion Transfer for Arbitrary Objects through Pose-Attentive Video ReassemblingSubin Jeon, Seonghyeon Nam, Seoung Wug Oh et al.
We propose an attention-based networks for transferring motions between arbitrary objects. Given a source image(s) and a driving video, our networks animate the subject in the source images according to the motion in the driving video. In our attention mechanism, dense similarities between the learned keypoints in the source and the driving images are computed in order to retrieve the appearance information from the source images. Taking a different approach from the well-studied warping based models, our attention-based model has several advantages. By reassembling non-locally searched pieces from the source contents, our approach can produce more realistic outputs. Furthermore, our system can make use of multiple observations of the source appearance (e.g. front and sides of faces) to make the results more accurate. To reduce the training-testing discrepancy of the self-supervised learning, a novel cross-identity training scheme is additionally introduced. With the training scheme, our networks is trained to transfer motions between different subjects, as in the real testing scenario. Experimental results validate that our method produces visually pleasing results in various object domains, showing better performances compared to previous works.
