GESTURE BANK TO IMPROVE SKELETAL TRACKING

A method for obtaining gestural input from a user of a computer system. In this method, an image of the user is acquired, and a runtime representation of a geometric model of the user is computed based on the image. The runtime representation is compared against stored data, which includes a plurali...

Summary:A method for obtaining gestural input from a user of a computer system. In this method, an image of the user is acquired, and a runtime representation of a geometric model of the user is computed based on the image. The runtime representation is compared against stored data, which includes a plurality of stored metrics each corresponding to a measurement made on an actor performing a gesture. With each stored metric is associated a stored representation of a geometric model of the actor performing the associated gesture. The method returns gestural input based on the stored metric associated with a stored representation that matches the runtime representation.
