Various implementations use one or more images from a single camera and enrolled hand data to predict a three-dimensional (3D) position and configuration of a hand. The enrollment data may provide information about 3D hand shape and size (e.g., fixed/actual distances between joints). Such information may facilitate determining depth and other 3D characteristics for the 3D position and configuration using images from a single camera (i.e., using a 2D image from a single camera and without requiring triangulation using live images from multiple cameras or multiple viewpoints). The hand's 3D position and configuration may be represented in a way (e.g., a format) that is appropriate for Bayesian optimization. Some implementations may use (e.g., fit) a predetermined hand shape/size with the captured image data to predict the hand's 3D position and configuration.
