Gesture-Based Control System For Vehicle Interfaces
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors in a vehicle, wherein the plurality of sensors image an object and output gesture data representing a gesture made by the object, wherein the gesture data is an instantaneous state of the object at a point in time in space, wherein the object comprises at least one of a hand and a finger of a user;
a processor coupled to the plurality of sensors, the processor automatically detecting the gesture of the object from the gesture data, the detecting comprising extracting positions of the object, the detecting comprising recovering quantized poses and orientation vectors of the object, the detecting comprising translating the gesture data to a gesture signal; and
a controller coupled to the processor and to a plurality of vehicle subsystems of the vehicle, the controller managing user interactions with the plurality of vehicle subsystems in response to the gesture signal.

Abstract
Systems and method for controlling vehicle subsystems using gestures are described. The controlling comprises receiving an image of an object via sensors in a vehicle and outputting gesture data representing a gesture made by the object. The object comprises at least one hand and/or finger of a user. The gesture data is an instantaneous state of the object at a point in time in space. The controlling comprises automatically detecting the gesture of the object from the gesture data by extracting positions of the object, recovering quantized poses and orientation vectors of the object, and translating the gesture data to a gesture signal. The controlling comprises managing user interactions with the vehicle subsystems in response to the gesture signal.
