IMAGING SURROUND SYSTEM FOR TOUCH-FREE DISPLAY CONTROL

摘要

The subject system hardware and methodology combine disparate cameras into a cohesive gesture recognition environment. To render an intended computer, gaming, display, etc. control function, two or more cameras with non-coaxial axes are trained on a space to detect and lock onto an object image regardless of its depth coordinate. Each camera captures one 2D view of the gesture and the plurality of 2D gestures are combined to infer the 3D input.

主权项

1. A system for input gesture recognition comprising:
a first camera having a first optical axis; and a second camera second optical axis; the first and second cameras connected for data transmission to a computer processor, wherein the computer processor is configured to compare images from the first and second cameras to recognize user input gestures without performing stereo imaging calculations, and wherein the first and second optical axes are angled with respect to one another by at least about 30 degrees.
