  • Method for automatically following hand movements in an image sequence
    Patent number: 8488843
    Abstract: A method for following hand movements in an image flow, includes receiving an image flow in real time, locating in each image in the received image flow a hand contour delimiting an image zone of the hand, extracting the postural characteristics from the image zone of the hand located in each image, and determining the hand movements in the image flow from the postural characteristics extracted from each image. The extraction of the postural characteristics of the hand in each image includes locating in the image zone of the hand the center of the palm of the hand by searching for a pixel of the image zone of the hand the furthest from the hand contour.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 16, 2013
    Assignees: STMicroelectronics SA, Universite Paul Cezanne Aix-Marseille III
