Abstract:
Facial expressions and whole-body gestures of a 3D character are provided based on facial expressions of a user and gestures of a hand puppet perceived using a depth camera.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for hand gesture recognition based on a depth image, which includes a depth image acquiring unit configured to acquire a depth image including a hand region, a depth point classifying unit configured to classify depth points of a hand region in the depth image according to a corresponding hand portion by means of a machine studying method, and a hand model matching unit configured to match a three-dimensional hand model with the classified depth points by using distances between the classified depth points and a hand portion respectively corresponding to the depth points. A recognition method using the apparatus is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of recognizing a hand shape by using a database including a plurality of hand shape depth images includes receiving a motion of a user, extracting a hand shape depth image of the user from the received motion, normalizing a size and depth values of the extracted hand shape depth image to conform to criteria of a size and depth values of the hand shape depth images stored in the database, and detecting from the database a hand shape depth image corresponding to the normalized hand shape depth image. It is possible to detect a hand shape depth image in a rapid and accurate way with the disclosed method.
