We present a novel appearance-based approach for pose estimation of a human hand using the point clouds provided by the low-cost Microsoft Kinect sensor. Both the free-hand case, in which the hand is isolated from the surrounding environment, and the hand-object case, in which the different types of interactions are classified, have been considered. The pose estimation is obtained by applying a modified version of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm to the synthetic models. The proposed framework uses a “pure” point cloud as provided by the Kinect sensor without any other information such as RGB values or normal vector components.

Abstract

We present a novel appearance-based approach for pose estimation of a human hand using the point clouds provided by the low-cost Microsoft Kinect sensor. Both the free-hand case, in which the hand is isolated from the surrounding environment, and the hand-object case, in which the different types of interactions are classified, have been considered. The pose estimation is obtained by applying a modified version of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm to the synthetic models. The proposed framework uses a “pure” point cloud as provided by the Kinect sensor without any other information such as RGB values or normal vector components.
