In this paper, we propose a visual tracking control method of a hand-eye robot for a moving target object with multiple feature points. The hand-eye robot is composed of a three degrees-offreedom planar manipulator and a single CCD camera that is mounted on the manipulator’s endeffector. The control objective is to keep all feature points of the target object around their desired coordinates on...

Hand gesture recognition system can be used for human-computer interaction (HCI). Proper hand segmentation from the background and other body parts of the video is the primary requirement for the design of a hand-gesture based application. These video frames can be captured from a low cost webcam (camera) for use in a vision based gesture recognition technique. This paper discusses about the co...

multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. in this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. we have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. in the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (svm) person-specific classifie...

Computer sensing of hand and limb motion is an important problem for applications in human-computer interaction, virtual reality, and athletic performance measurement. We describe a framework for local tracking of self-occluding motion, in which parts of the mechanism obstruct each others visibility to the camera. Our approach uses a kinematic model to predict occlusion and windowed templates t...

Touch-free gesture technology opens new avenues for human-machine interaction. We show how self-organizing maps (SOM) can be used for hand and full body tracking. We use a range camera for data acquisition and apply a SOM-learning process for each frame in order to capture the pose. In a next step we introduce an extension of the SOM to 1D and 2D segments for an improved representation and skel...

The articulate motion of the hand makes it very difficult to track the hands while performing a gesture. Simultaneous tracking of both hands needs to deal with large interframe variations in shape, clutter and mutual occlusion. In this paper, we present a robust method for localizing the hand region by tracking even in the presence of severe occlusion. We develop a model for tracking two rectan...
