FreiHAND

Introduced by Christian Zimmermann et al. in FreiHAND: A Dataset for Markerless Capture of Hand Pose and Shape from Single RGB Images1 Jan 2019 archive 2025-07-28

FreiHAND is a 3D hand pose dataset which records different hand actions performed by 32 people. For each hand image, MANO-based 3D hand pose annotations are provided. It currently contains 32,560 unique training samples and 3960 unique samples for evaluation. The training samples are recorded with a green screen background allowing for background removal. In addition, it applies three different post processing strategies to training samples for data augmentation. However, these post processing strategies are not applied to evaluation samples.

30 shown of 31 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 125. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
