Patent number: 9690982Abstract: Systems and method described herein present techniques for identifying a gesture using gesture data compressed by principal joint variable analysis. A classifier of a gesture recognition system may receive a frame comprising a set of gesture data points identifying locations of body parts of a subject. The classifier may determining that a subset of the set of gesture data points is sufficient to recognize a first gesture. The subset may be stored into a database in reference to the first gesture. A recognizer may receive a new frame of new gesture data points identifying locations of body parts of a new subject. The recognizer may recognize that the gesture of the new subject corresponds to the first gesture responsive to comparing at least one new gesture data point from the new frame to at least one gesture data point of the subset.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: ARB LABS INC.Inventor: Adrian Bulzacki

Patent number: 9639746Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods of detecting body movements using gesture data. The gesture data may be self-referenced and may be comprised by frames which may identify locations or positions of body parts of a subject with respect to a particular reference point within the frame. A classifier may process frames to learn body movements and store the frames of gesture data in a database. Data comprising frames of self-referenced gesture data may be received by a recognizer which recognizes movements of the subject identified by the frames by matching gesture data of the incoming frames to the classified self-referenced gesture data stored in the database.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2012Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Arb Labs Inc.Inventor: Adrian Bulzacki
