From Human Hands

From robotic hands to human hands: a visualization and simulation engine for grasping research

Robotic hands are still a long way from matching the grasping and manipulation capability of their human counterparts. One way to push the research further along is to use computer modeling and simulation to learn more about human and robotic grasping. We have created a publicly available simulator to serve this purpose. It can accommodate a wide variety of hand designs, and it can evaluate gra...

Color-Removal by Microorganisms Isolated from Human Hands

Personal Verification from the Geometry of Human Hands

Biometrics offers natural and scientific solution to key aspects of security management problems. Due to the increased security concerns in the past decade, biometrics has seen enormous growth and has found widespread applications in our everyday life. Widely researched biometrics traits include face, iris, fingerprint, hand geometry, palmprint, voice and signature. Of these, face and hand geom...

Ignitable Liquid Recovery from Hands

Interaction Capture and Synthesis of Human Hands

This thesis addresses several issues in modelling interaction with human hands in computer graphics and animation. Modifying motion capture to satisfy the constraints of new animation is difficult when contact is involved because physical interaction involves energy or power transfer between the system of interest and the environment, and is a critical problem for computer animation of hands. A...
