Abstract
Model fitting from raw time of flight image data is described, for example, to track position and orientation of a human hand or other entity. In various examples, raw image data depicting the entity is received from a time of flight camera. A 3D model of the entity is accessed and used to render, from the 3D model, simulations of raw time of flight image data depicting the entity in a specified pose/shape. The simulated raw image data and at least part of the received raw image data are compared and on the basis of the comparison, parameters of the entity are computed.
