Abstract

A multi-camera, multimodal gesture detection system for augmented reality devices combines outputs from multiple image sensors, using different modalities, to generate fused gesture detection trigger signals and gesture detection release signals. The system processes fused trigger signals using a trigger suspension component, which suppresses false triggers based on hand velocity, position of a detected hand within a field of view of an image sensor, and visibility of key hand landmarks. The system processes fused release signals using a release suspension component, which suppresses false release signals based on hand velocity, position of a detected hand within a field of view of an image sensor, and visibility of key hand landmarks. This approach enhances gesture detection accuracy and reliability in challenging environments.
