Abstract

In this chapter, we present a real-time 3D finger tracking system implemented on focal plane chip technology-enabled smart camera computers. The system utilizes visual input from two cameras, executes a model-based tracking and finally computes the 3D coordinate from the 2D projections. A reduced algorithm is also analysed, pros and cons emphasised. Measurements, robustness and auto calibration issues are also exposed.
