Title: Innovations of Xiaodong Yang

Introduction

Xiaodong Yang is a prominent inventor based in New York, NY, known for his significant contributions to technology through his innovative patents. With a total of 10 patents to his name, he has made strides in the field of hand gesture recognition and localization.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is a method for hand-gesture-based region of interest localization. This invention discloses a method, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and apparatus for localizing a region of interest using a hand gesture. The method acquires an image containing the hand gesture from an ego-centric video, detects pixels corresponding to one or more hands using a hand segmentation algorithm, identifies a hand enclosure in the detected pixels, localizes a region of interest based on the hand enclosure, and performs an action based on the object in that region. Another notable patent is the dynamic hand-gesture-based region of interest localization. This invention captures ego-centric video containing a dynamic hand gesture, analyzes frames to detect pixels corresponding to a fingertip, computes a path of the fingertip in the dynamic gesture, localizes the region of interest based on this path, and performs an action based on the object in the region of interest.
