Robustness Evaluation in Hand Pose Estimation Models using Metamorphic Testing

In this work, we adopt metamorphic testing to evaluate the robustness of hand pose estimation on four state-of-the-art models: MediaPipe hands, OpenPose, BodyHands, and NSRM hand.

Occlusions, illumination variations and motion blur are indetified as the main obstacles to the performance of existing hand pose estimation models. Considering their influence on the HPE models, we transform the source test case obtianed from two public hand pose datasets: FreiHand and CMU Panoptic Hand to construct the corresponding follow-up test cases, and propose the following metamorphic relations:
