Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gesture recognition method comprises capturing images, processing the images to identify at least two clusters of touch points associated with at least two pointers, recognizing a gesture based on motion of the clusters, and updating a display in accordance with the recognized gesture.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A gesture recognition method comprising: capturing images using imaging sensors having fields of view aimed generally across or at an input surface from different vantages; processing the captured images to detect a pair of hands brought into contact with said input surface and for each detected hand calculating a bounding box, the calculated bounding box surrounding either a cluster of proximate touch points resulting from multiple fingers of the hand be…
