Patent abstract
A signal encoding an infrared (IR) image including a plurality of IR pixels is received from an IR camera. Each IR pixel specifies one or more IR parameters of that IR pixel. IR-skin pixels that image a human hand are identified in the IR image. For each IR-skin pixel, a depth of a human hand portion imaged by that IR-skin pixel is estimated based on the IR parameters of that IR-skin pixel. A skeletal hand model including a plurality of hand joints is derived. Each hand joint is defined with three independent position coordinates inferred from the estimated depths of each human hand portion.
