Abstract
A mobile device detects a moveable foreground object in captured images, e.g., a series of video frames without depth information. The object may be one or more of the user's fingers. The object may be detected by warping one of a captured image of a scene that includes the object and a reference image of the scene without the object so they have the same view and comparing the captured image and the reference image after warping. A mask may be used to segment the object from the captured image. Pixels are detected in the extracted image of the object and the pixels are used to detect the point of interest on the foreground object. The object may then be tracked in subsequent images. Augmentations may be rendered and interacted with or temporal gestures may be detected and desired actions performed accordingly.
