Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for initializing real-time, vision-based hand tracking systems are described. The systems and methods for initializing the vision-based hand tracking systems image a body and receive gesture data that is absolute three-space data of an instantaneous state of the body at a point in time and space, and at least one of determine an orientation of the body using an appendage of the body and track the body using at least one of the orientation and the gesture data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: detecting a gesture of a body from gesture data received via an optical detector, wherein the gesture data is absolute three-space location data of an instantaneous state of the body at a point in time and space, the detecting comprising detecting a segment of an appendage of the body and generating an estimated orientation of the body using the segment; tracking the body using at least one of the estimated orientation and the gesture…
