Abstract
A computer interface may use touch- and non-touch-based gesture detection systems to detect touch and non-touch gestures on a computing device. The systems may each capture an image, and interpret the image as corresponding to a predetermined gesture. The systems may also generate similarity values to indicate the strength of a match between a captured image and corresponding gesture, and the system may combine gesture identifications from both touch- and non-touch-based gesture identification systems to ultimately determine the gesture. A threshold comparison algorithm may be used to apply different thresholds for different gesture detection systems and gesture types.
