Depth-Based Real-Time Hand Tracking with Occlusion Handling Using Kalman Filter and DAM-Shift
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose real-time hand tracking with a depth camera by using a Kalman Filter and an improved DAM-Shift(Depthbased adaptive mean shift) algorithm for occlusion handling. DAM-Shift is a useful algorithm for hand tracking, but difficult to track when occlusion occurs. To detect the hand region, we use a classifier that combines a boosting and a cascade structure. To verify occlusion, we predict in real time the center position of the hand region using Kalman Filter and calculate the major axis using the central moment of the preceding depth image. Using these factors, we measure real-time hand thickness through a projection and the threshold value of the thickness using a 2nd linear model. If the hand region is partially occluded, we cut the useless region. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the existing method.
