Shoe Style-Invariant and Ground-Aware Learning for Dense Foot Contact Estimation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2511.22184v2 Announce Type: replace Foot contact plays a critical role in human interaction with the world, and thus exploring foot contact can advance our understanding of human movement and physical interaction. Despite its importance, existing methods often approximate foot contact using a zero-velocity constraint and focus on joint-level contact, failing to capture the detailed interaction between the foot and the world.
