WEARABLE SENSOR FOR TRACKING ARTICULATED BODY-PARTS
摘要
<p>A wearable sensor for tracking articulated body parts is described such as a wrist-worn device which enables 3D tracking of fingers and optionally also the arm and hand without the need to wear a glove or markers on the hand. In an embodiment a camera captures images of an articulated part of a body of a wearer of the device and an articulated model of the body part is tracked in real time to enable gesture-based control of a separate computing device such as a smart phone, laptop computer or other computing device. In examples the device has a structured illumination source and a diffuse illumination source for illuminating the articulated body part. In some examples an inertial measurement unit is also included in the sensor to enable tracking of the arm and hand.</p>
