Abstract

Embodiments provide a process to identify one or more areas containing a hand or hands of one or more subjects in an image. The detection process can start with coarsely locating one or more segments in the image that contain portions of the hand(s) of the subject(s) in the image using a coarse CNN. The detection process can then combine these segments to obtain the one or more areas capturing the hand(s) of the subject(s) in the image. The combined area(s) can then be fed to a grid-based deep neural network finely detect area(s) in the image that contain only the hand(s) of the subject(s) captured.
