Vision Based Interfaces for Mobile Computing

Luennon abstrakti:
Computer vision holds great promise as a sensing modality in mobile computing environments such as augmented reality (AR) systems, both for looking “out” at the world and looking “in” at the user. I will describe an example of the latter, where a robust, real-time hand gesture recognition system allows the user to interact with applications in a natural and compelling fashion, without the need to carry extra devices.'

The system reliably detects hands in the view of the small head-worn camera, tracks them in the presence of complex backgrounds and changing illumination conditions, and recognizes several gestures/postures which trigger application-specific events. We have demonstrated prototypes of the system in the context of general mobile interfaces and specific scenarios such as search-and-rescue AR systems, including integrating with other modalities into a multimodal wearable computing system.
