Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a fast and robust method for tracking multiple fingertips ; we then demonstrate gesture recognition based on measured fingertip trajectories for augmented desk interface systems. Our tracking method can track multiple fingertips reliably even in a complex background under a dynamically changing lighting condition without any markers. First, based on its geometrical features, each fingertip is detected in each input infrared image frame. Then, correspondences of detected fingertips between successive image frames are determined based on a prediction technique. Our gesture recognition system is particularly advantageous for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in that users can achieve interactions based on both symbolic gestures and direct manipulation with their own hands.
