Abstract
Technology for a method of detecting a user hand by a user hand detecting device. The method according to an aspect of the present invention includes extracting a first mask image from a depth image in which the user hand is imaged; extracting a second mask image having a preset skin color value among regions corresponding to the first mask image in a color image in which the user hand is imaged; generating a skin color value histogram model in a color space different from a region of the color image corresponding to a color region of the second mask image; generating a skin color probability image of the different color space from the color image using the skin color value histogram model and an algorithm for detecting a skin color region; and combining the skin color probability image with the second mask image and detecting the user's hand region.
