Abstract
A silhouette-based limb finder may be used to detect limbs from a camera image. This limb determination may be used to control an application, such as a game, or a combination with other image processing. A first distance field indicating a distance from the edge of a silhouette in an image and a second distance field indicating distance from a location in the silhouette may be used to generate a path from an extremity point on the silhouette to the location. This path then may be used to determine a limb in the silhouette. This allows tracking of limbs even for hard to detect player poses.
