Description
The goal of this project has been to create a system that will track finger movement in three dimensions using the Microsoft Kinect. An algorithm was developed to track movement of a fingertip by subtracting a blank, control image from successive images containing the finger. After identifying the fingertip, the program finds the corresponding distance from the sensor. When compared to the actual distance, tests varied by approximately the width of a finger. The results of these tests show that the method developed is a unique and accurate way to track finger movement with the Microsoft Kinect.
