Abstract

Tracking highly articulated 3-D objects such as human hands with an uncalibrated camera is not an easy task. In addition to changes in position, such objects change their shape and appearance with time. We present a robust tracker for such cases which works well in spite of cases of other similar moving objects, and background clutter. Our hand gesture analysis system is based on such a tracker. The system can recognise gestures involving the same hand shapes following different trajectories, and vice versa.
