Patent number: 8588467Abstract: An apparatus and method can effectively detect both hands and hand shape of a user from images input through cameras. A skin image detecting skin regions from one of the input images and a stereoscopic distance image are used. For hand detection, background and noise are eliminated from a combined image of the skin image and the distance image and regions corresponding to actual both hands are detected from effective images having a high probability of hands. For hand shape detection, a non-skin region is eliminated from the skin image based on the stereoscopic distance information, hand shape candidate regions are detected from the remaining region after elimination, and finally a hand shape is determined.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Sunkyunkwan University Foundation for Corporate CollaborationInventors: Je-Han Yoon, Hee-Jun Song, Hyun-Sik Shim, Young-Hee Park, Jae-Wook Jeon, Tae-Houn Song, Cong-Thien Pham, Seung-Hun Jin, Duc-Dung Nguyen
