Abstract

In this work, we address the new challenge of open-vocabulary fine-grained hand action detection, which aims to recognize hand actions from both known and novel categories using textual descriptions. Traditional hand action detection methods are limited to closed-set detection, making it difficult for them to generalize to new, unseen hand action categories. While current open-vocabulary detection (OVD) methods are effective at detecting novel objects, they face challenges with fine-grained action recognition, particularly when data is limited and heterogeneous. This often leads to poor generalization and performance bias between base and novel categories. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach, Open-FGHA (Open-vocabulary Fine-Grained Hand Action), which learns to distinguish fine-grained features across multiple modalities from limited heterogeneous data. It then identifies optimal matching relationships among these features, enabling accurate open-vocabulary fine-grained hand action detection. Specifically, we introduce three key components: Hierarchical Heterogeneous Low-Rank Adaptation, Bidirectional Selection and Fusion Mechanism, and Cross-Modality Query Generator. These components work in unison to enhance the alignment and fusion of multimodal fine-grained features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Open-FGHA outperforms existing OVD methods, showing its strong potential for open-vocabulary hand action detection. The source code is available at OV-FGHAD.
