Hand detection and pose estimation
Hand detection and pose estimation for creating human-computer interaction project is supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education
under research grant no. IP2011 023071 from the Science Budget 2012-2013. The project involves the following computer vision tasks:
- skin region detection and segmentation,
- hand detection and localization,
- hand feature points detection,
- hand modeling and pose estimation,
- tracking of the feature points in video sequences.
