Abstract: Transparent objects are common in daily life, while their unique optical properties pose challenges for RGB-D cameras, which struggle to capture accurate depth information. For assistant robots, accurately perceiving transparent objects held by humans is essential for effective human-robot interaction. This paper presents a Hand-Aware Depth Restoration (HADR) method for hand-held transparent objects based on creating an implicit neural representation function from a single RGB-D image. The proposed method introduces the hand posture as an important guidance to leverage semantic and geometric information. To train and evaluate the proposed method, we create a high-fidelity synthetic dataset called TransHand-14K with a real-to-sim data generation scheme. Experiments show that our method has a better performance and generalization ability compared with existing methods. We further develop a real-world human-to-robot handover system based on the proposed depth restoration method, demonstrating its application value in human-robot interaction.
