First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing data, comprising:
- receiving a depth map of a scene containing a human hand, the depth map comprising a matrix of pixels having respective pixel depth values;
extracting from the depth map respective descriptors based on the depth values in a plurality of patches distributed in respective positions over the human hand;
matching the extracted descriptors to previously-stored descriptors in a database; and
estimating a pose of the human hand based on stored information associated with the matched descriptors.

Abstract
A method for processing data includes receiving a depth map of a scene containing a human hand, the depth map consisting of a matrix of pixels having respective pixel depth values. The method continues by extracting from the depth map respective descriptors based on the depth values in a plurality of patches distributed in respective positions over the human hand, and matching the extracted descriptors to previously-stored descriptors in a database. A pose of the human hand is estimated based on stored information associated with the matched descriptors.

20. Mapping apparatus, comprising:
-
an imaging assembly, which is configured to provide a depth map of a scene containing a human hand, the depth map comprising a matrix of pixels having respective pixel depth values; and a processor, which is configured to extract from the depth map respective descriptors based on the depth values in a plurality of patches distributed in respective positions over the human hand, to match the extracted descriptors to previously-stored descriptors in a database, and to estimate a pose of the human hand based on stored information associated with the matched descriptors. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

- 39. A computer software product, comprising a computer-readable medium in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to receive a depth map of a scene containing a human hand, the depth map comprising a matrix of pixels having respective pixel depth values, to extract from the depth map respective descriptors based on the depth values in a plurality of patches distributed in respective positions over the human hand, to match the extracted descriptors to previously-stored descriptors in a database, and to estimate a pose of the human hand based on stored information associated with the matched descriptors.
