Fist Tracking Using Bayesian Network

Abstract. This paper presents a Bayesian network based multi-cue fusion method for robust and real-time fist tracking. Firstly, a new strategy, which employs the latest work in face recognition, is used to create accurate color model of the fist automatically. Secondly, color cue and motion cue are used to generate the possible position of the fist. Then, the posterior probability of each possible position is evaluated by Bayesian network, which fuses color cue and appearance cue. Finally, the fist position is approximated by the hypothesis that maximizes a posterior. Experimental results show that our algorithm is real-time and robust.
