Abstract
Methods and systems for gesture-based control of a device are described. An input frame is processed to determine a location of a distinguishing anatomical feature in the input frame. A virtual gesture-space is defined based on the location of the distinguishing anatomical feature, the virtual gesture-space being a defined space for detecting a gesture input. The input frame is processed in only the virtual gesture-space, to detect and track a hand. Using information generated from detecting and tracking the at least one hand, a gesture class is determined for the at least one hand. The device may be a smart television, a smart phone, a tablet, etc.
