Abstract

In an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method receives image data from one or more sensors of a moving platform and detecting one or more objects from the image data. The one or more objects potentially represent extremities of a user associated with the moving platform. The method processes the one or more objects using two or more context processors and context data retrieved from a context database. The processing produces at least two confidence values for each of the one or more objects. The method filters at least one of the one or more objects from consideration based on the confidence value of each of the one or more objects.
