Abstract: An image such as a depth image of a scene may be received, observed, or captured by a device. A grid of voxels may then be generated based on the depth image such that the depth image may be downsampled. A background included in the grid of voxels may then be discarded to isolate one or more voxels associated with a foreground object such as a human target and the isolated voxels associated with the foreground object may be processed.

Abstract: A method to identify a targeted object based on eye tracking and gesture recognition. The method is enacted in a compute system controlled by a user and operatively coupled to a machine vision system. In this method, the compute system receives, from the machine vision system, video imaging a head and pointer of the user. Based on the video, the compute system computes a geometric line of sight of the user, which is partly occluded by the pointer. Then, with reference to position data for one or more objects, the compute system identifies the targeted object, situated along the geometric line of sight.

A background included in the grid of voxels may also be removed to isolate one or more voxels associated with a foreground object such as a human target. A location or position of one or more extremities of the isolated human target may be determined and a model may be adjusted based on the location or position of the one or more extremities.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for re-orienting a field of view of a depth camera having one or more sensors. The depth camera may have one or more sensors for generating a depth image and may also have an RGB camera. In some embodiments, the field of view is re-oriented based on the depth image. The position of the sensor(s) may be altered to change the field of view automatically based on an analysis of objects in the depth image. The re-orientation process may be repeated until a desired orientation of the sensor is determined. Input from the RGB camera might be used to validate a final orientation of the depth camera, but is not required to during the process of determining new possible orientation of the field of view.
