Abstract
Human Computer Interfaces (HCI) may allow a user to interact with a computer via a variety of mechanisms, such as hand, head, and body gestures. Various of the disclosed embodiments allow information captured from a depth camera on an HCI system to be used to recognize such gestures. Particularly, the HCI system's depth sensor may capture depth frames of the user's movements over time. To discern gestures from these movements, the system may group portions of the user's anatomy represented by the depth data into classes. 'Features' which reflect distinguishing features of the user's anatomy may be used to accomplish this classification. Some embodiments provide improved systems and methods for generating and/or selecting these features. Features prepared by various of the disclosed embodiments may be less susceptible to overfitting training data and may more quickly distinguish portions of the user's anatomy.
