Abstract
A method for implementing gesture based human interfaces includes segmenting data generated by an IR camera of an active area and detecting objects in an active area. The objects are distinguished as either island objects or peninsula objects and a human hand is identified from among the peninsula objects. The motion of the human hand is tracked as a function of time and a gesture made by the human hand is recognized.
