Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method are disclosed relating to a pipeline for generating a computer model of a target user, including a hand model of the user's hands, captured by an image sensor in a NUI system. The computer model represents a best estimate of the position of a user's hand or hands and whether the hand or hand is in an open or closed state. The generated hand model may be used by a gaming or other application to determine such things as user gestures and control actions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for generating a model of a user's hand including one or more fingers, comprising: (a) receiving position data in a computing device representing a position of a user interacting with a sensor associated with the computing device, the position data including at least one of depth and image data representing the user's hand; and (b) analyzing the position data to identify whether the hand is in an open or closed state, said step (b) including the step…
