Abstract
A user interface apparatus for controlling any kind of a device. Images obtained by an image sensor in a region adjacent to the device are input to a gesture recognition system which analyzes images obtained by the image sensor to identify one or more gestures. A message decision maker generates a message based upon an identified gesture and a recognition mode of the gesture recognition system. The recognition mode is changed under one or more various conditions.
Claims31
1-67. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive at least one image from at least one image sensor;
- detect, in the at least one image, data corresponding to an anatomical structure of a user;
- identify, in the at least one image, information corresponding to a suspected hand gesture by the user;
- and
- discount the information corresponding to the suspected hand gesture if the data corresponding to the anatomical structure of the user is not identified in the at least one image.
The system of claim 88, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
- provide an indication including at least one of an indication the system is ready to recognize gestures, an indication the system is ready to recognize one or more predefined gestures, an indication the system is not ready to recognize gestures, and an indication ambient light conditions do not permit gesture recognition.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving at feast one image from at least one image sensor;
- detecting, in the at least one image, data corresponding to an anatomical structure of a user;
- identifying, in the at least one image, information corresponding to a suspected hand gesture by the user;
- and
- discounting the information corresponding to the suspected hand gesture if the data corresponding to the anatomical structure of the user is not identified in the at least one image.
A gesture recognition method, comprising:
- receiving at least one image from at least one image sensor;
- detecting, in the at least one image, data corresponding to an anatomical structure of a user;
- identifying, in the at least one image, information corresponding to a suspected hand gesture by the user;
- and
- discounting the information corresponding to the suspected hand gesture if the data corresponding to the anatomical structure of the user is not identified in the at least one image.
