Abstract
A method for processing data includes receiving a depth map of a scene containing a human hand, the depth map consisting of a matrix of pixels having respective pixel depth values. The method continues by extracting from the depth map respective descriptors based on the depth values in a plurality of patches distributed in respective positions over the human hand, and matching the extracted descriptors to previously-stored descriptors in a database. A pose of the human hand is estimated based on stored information associated with the matched descriptors.
