We pmpose a novel merhod for detecting hands and hand-held objects in desktop manipulation situations. In order to achieve robust tracking under few constraints. we use multiple image sensors, that is, a RGB camera, a stereo camera, and an IR camera. By using these sensors, our system realized robust tracking without the prior knowledge of an object even if there are moving people or objects in rhe backgmund. We experimentally verijed the performance of object tracking by each of the three sensors and evaluated the effectiveness of their integration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
