    Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting a periphery of a surface based on a point set representing the surface. The surface may correspond to a display medium upon which content is projected. A shape model may be matched and aligned to a contour of the point set. A periphery or edge of the surface and corresponding display medium may be determined based on the aligned shape model.

    Abstract: A number of images of an environment may be obtained over time by a number of sensors. The images may include an input surface and an input object, such as a hand or stylus, that may be utilized by a user to provide an input via the input surface. In some cases, the input may be provided without the input object touching the input surface. The location of the input object with respect to the input surface over time and a speed of the input object over time may be used to determine whether an input has been indicated by the input object without contacting the input surface.

    Abstract: Techniques for detecting a hand of a user and a pose of the hand are described herein. In some instances, as a user interacts with a computing system through various hand signals, the hand of the user and pose of the hand (e.g., position and orientation) may be detected. To detect a hand, a point set may be analyzed to identify local extremum points (e.g., peaks and valleys) along an outer boundary of the point set. The local extremum points may then be used to identify a potential hand segment including one or more potential finger segments and/or a potential palm segment. When the potential hand segment satisfies one or more criteria, a hand may be detected. To detect a hand pose, an observed pose of the hand segment may be compared to one or more hand pose models.

    Abstract: A virtual user interface in a 3D environment is projected onto a display object, such as an open hand. An operating object, such as a stylus or a second hand with an index finger extended, may be used to select input features of the projected user interface. In one scenario, for example, a telephone keypad may be projected onto the open hand and the index finger may be used to select a particular number on the keypad. Images of the hands may be segmented to produce contours of the finger and open hand, and these contours are used to determine the location of the finger relative to the open hand.

    Abstract: A number of images of an environment may be obtained over time by a number of sensors. The data obtained by the sensors may be used to generate contours of objects in the environment. In some cases, hands with pointing fingers in the environment may be identified based on the contours of the objects in the environment. In particular, contours having a palm segment and a pointing finger segment may be identified as hands with pointing fingers. In an implementation, 1-dimensional curvature and distance information may be used to identify contours having a palm segment and a pointing finger segment.

    Abstract translation: 可以通过多个传感器随时间获得许多环境的图像。 由传感器获得的数据可用于产生环境中物体的轮廓。 在某些情况下,可以根据环境中物体的轮廓来识别手指在环境中的手指。 特别地,具有手掌区段和指向手指区段的轮廓可以被识别为具有指状指的手。 在一个实现中,可以使用一维曲率和距离信息来识别具有手掌区段和指点手指区段的轮廓。
