Abstract

We describe a real-time stereo camera system for tracking a human handfrom a sequence of images and measuring the three dimensional trajectories of the handmo vement. We incorporate three kinds of constraints into our tracking technique to put restrictions on the search area of targets and their relative positions in each image. The restrictions on the search area are imposedb y continuity of the handlo cations, use of skin color segmentation, andepip olar constraint between two views. Thus, we can reduce the computational complexity and obtain accurate three-dimensional trajectories. This paper presents a stereo tracking technique andexp erimental results to show the performance of the proposed method.
