Abstract
A method for controlling a computer system includes acquiring video of a subject, and obtaining from the video a time-resolved sequence of depth maps. An area targeting motion is selected from each depth map in the sequence. Then, a section of the depth map bounded by the area and lying in front of a plane is selected. This section of the depth map is used for fitting a geometric model of the subject.
