Hand pose identification in vehicles using neural network
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11887396B2) discloses a computerized method for hand pose identification in a vehicle image. The method involves extracting a fixed-size hand image using a single point associated with the hand, obtaining contextual images based on this single point, processing them through a neural network to derive contextual features, and identifying the hand pose using a classifier model. The neural network utilized in the method includes layers such as convolution units, batch normalization units, rectified linear units, fully connected units, and pooling units. Additionally, the method involves aggregating contextual features for accurate hand pose identification.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a system comprising a processor and memory storing instructions for executing the method. The system is designed to extract hand images, obtain contextual images, process them through a neural network, and identify hand poses based on contextual features. The system allows for event performance corresponding to the identified hand pose. The method and system outlined in the patent aim to provide a reliable and efficient way of recognizing hand poses in vehicle images, with potential applications in various industries requiring gesture recognition technology.
