Abstract
A mobile device configured to perform gesture recognition for a vehicle information and/or entertainment system comprises a depth camera; an orientation sensor; and a processor configured to detect one or more gestures from images captured by the depth camera according to a gesture detection algorithm; in which the processor is configured to vary the gesture detection algorithm in dependence upon an orientation of the mobile device detected by the orientation sensor.
Claims18
A mobile device configured to perform gesture recognition for a vehicle information and/or entertainment system, the mobile device comprising:
- a depth camera;
- an orientation sensor;
- and
- a processor configured to detect one or more gestures from images captured by the depth camera according to a gesture detection algorithm;
- in which the processor is configured to vary the gesture detection algorithm in dependence upon an orientation of the mobile device detected by the orientation sensor.
A gesture recognition system for a vehicle information and/or entertainment system, the system comprising:
- a mobile device having a depth camera and an orientation sensor;
- and
- a processor configured to detect one or more gestures from images captured by the depth camera according to a gesture detection algorithm;
- in which the processor is configured to vary the gesture detection algorithm in dependence upon an orientation of the mobile device detected by the orientation sensor.
A method of operation of a mobile device to perform gesture recognition for a vehicle information and/or entertainment system, the method comprising:
- detecting images using a depth camera of the mobile device;
- detecting an orientation of the mobile device;
- and
- detecting one or more gestures from images captured by the depth camera according to a gesture detection algorithm;
- in which the step of detecting one of more gestures comprises varying the gesture detection algorithm in dependence upon an orientation of the mobile device detected by the orientation sensor.
