Abstract
A method and system are provided for controlling a machine using gestures. The method includes sensing a variation of position of a control object using an imaging system, determining, from the variation, one or more primitives describing a characteristic of a control object moving in space, comparing the one or more primitives to one or more gesture templates in a library of gesture templates, selecting, based on a result of the comparing, one or more gesture templates corresponding to the one or more primitives, and providing at least one gesture template of the selected one or more gesture templates as an indication of a command to issue to a machine under control responsive to the variation.
