Processing library that performs real-time finger tracking from depth images.

FingerTracker is a Processing library that does real-time finger-tracking from depth images. It is based on work done by Murphy Stein at NYU. It uses fast marching squares to find the contour of the hand and then estimates finger endpoints by looking for inflections in the curvature of the contour. It can work with depth maps from either OpenNI or libfreenect (it expects the depth maps to be scaled to the 500-2047 range provided by the Kinect drivers).

Use it with either Shiffman's libfreenect wrapper or SimpleOpenNI.

See the FingerTrackerKinect example for usage.

fingertracker's Issues

setThreshold value range

Would you please describe the value range of setThreshold? In your example your writing "625 corresponds to about 2-3 feet from the Kinect".

I am tracking the grey value of the hand with Nite and trying to set the threshold dynamically.

Shiffman processing library

Hi,

how can I modify your Processing example to work with Shiffman's Library instead of SimpleOpenNi ?

Thank you a lot,

JP
