Abstract
The technology disclosed performs hand pose estimation on a so-called 'joint-by-joint' basis. So, when a plurality of estimates for the 28 hand joints are received from a plurality of expert networks (and from master experts in some high-confidence scenarios), the estimates are analyzed at a joint level and a final location for each joint is calculated based on the plurality of estimates for a particular joint. This is a novel solution discovered by the technology disclosed because nothing in the field of art determines hand pose estimates at such granularity and precision. Regarding granularity and precision, because hand pose estimates are computed on a joint-by-joint basis, this allows the technology disclosed to detect in real time even the minutest and most subtle hand movements, such a bend/yaw/tilt/roll of a segment of a finger or a tilt an occluded finger, as demonstrated supra in the Experimental Results section of this application.
