Thesis: Hand tracking from monocular video
Hand gestures play a fundamental role in inter-human communication. An efficient hand motion tracking system would provide natural ways of human-machine interaction in immersed environments. Data gloves could be use as input devices but are expensive while present hardware may inhibit free movements. Vision-based tracking in monocular video stream provides the most natural, non-invasive form of hand motion capture. However the design of an accurate and fast vision-based hand tracking is a difficult task and is an active search area. The aim of the PhD is to propose new efficient solutions for recovering 3D hand position in space and through time from the information provided by the video stream from a single camera.
