  • Apparatus and method for detecting upper body posture and hand posture
    Patent number: 8442267
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method which detect a user's upper body posture and the user's hand postures through at least two cameras to configure a user interface such as computers and home appliances. An apparatus for detecting upper body posture and hand posture includes a stereo vision calculation unit, a color pattern categorization unit, a plurality of position detection units, an upper body posture recognition unit, and a hand posture recognition unit. The stereo vision calculation unit calculates three-dimensional distance information from each image provided from at least two cameras. The color pattern categorization unit categorizes each color and pattern from the image to output color information and pattern information. The position detection units extract three-dimensional position information for each subject based on the three-dimensional distance information, the color information and the pattern information.
