A novel vision-based multi-hand tracking algorithm for human computer interface

A novel multi-hand tracking algorithm for human computer interface (HCI) is proposed, to solve the problem caused by the incompletion of tracking, the overlap of multi-object, the lost of the object and the confusion from background. For tracking the hand completely and effectively, we propose a new region-connection-based tracking method. And a hand motion model is established for tracking failure detection, with the utility of Bayesian classifier. Furthermore, to recover tracking after failure, a monitoring windows method is designed.
