  • Finger Orientation Touch Detection
    Publication number: 20240168566
    Abstract: Touch detection includes obtaining image data for a finger and a target surface, and determining a touch region in the image data on which the fingertip makes contact with the target surface. A pointing direction of the finger in the image data is determined, and a target region is estimated on the target surface based on the touch region and the pointing direction, wherein the touch region comprises a portion of the target surface that extends from the touch region in a direction of the pointing direction.

  • GESTURE RECOGNITION WITH HAND-OBJECT INTERACTION
    Publication number: 20240094825
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide improved techniques for gesture recognition. Improved techniques may include detecting and/or classifying an interaction between the body part and another object in a scan of the body part, and then controlling recognition of a gesture based on the interaction. In an aspect, recognition parameters may be selected based on the interaction classification that disable recognition of one or more gestures while not disabling recognition of other gestures.

  • Camera calibration
    Patent number: 9491452
    Abstract: Techniques for image calibration are described herein. The techniques may include detecting features on a set of images, describing features on the set of images, determining a match between features of the image sets, determining a shift on the matched features based on camera positions associated with the matched features, determining a first homography between the camera positions and the determined shift, and determining a second homography based on a re-projection of three-dimensional features back to the cameras.
