BigHand2.2M Benchmark: Hand Pose Data Set and State of the Art Analysis
S. Yuan, Q. Ye, B. Stenger, S. Jain, T.-K. Kim,
CVPR, July 2017.

We captured a new standard dataset for 3D hand pose estimation. Depth maps are accurately annotated with 3D joint locations using a magnetic tracking system. We show that training a CNN on this data achieves accurate results. The data was used in the Hands in the Million Challenge.
