Outline Approaches to gesture recognition  Rules based Single pose based (this lecture) Multiple poses based  Machine learning based

Gesture Recognition Engine The recognition engine typically performs the following tasks:  It accepts user actions in a form of skeleton data  It matches the data points with predefined logic for a specific gesture  It executes actions if the gesture is recognized  It responds to the users

Recognizing Two Gestures

Gesture Recognition Engine GestureType GestureType RecognitionResult RecognitionResult GestureEventArgs GestureEventArgs public enum GestureType { HandsClapping, TwoHandsRaised } public enum RecognitionResult { Unknown, Failed, Success } public class GestureEventArgs : EventArgs { public GestureType gsType { get; internal set; } public RecognitionResult Result { get; internal set; } public GestureEventArgs(GestureType t, RecognitionResult result) { this.Result = result; this.gsType = t; }

Gesture Recognition Engine public class GestureRecognitionEngine { public GestureRecognitionEngine() { } public event EventHandler GestureRecognized; public Skeleton Skeleton { get; set; } public GestureType GestureType { get; set; } public void StartRecognize(GestureType t) { this.GestureType = t; switch (t) { case GestureType.HandsClapping: this.MatchHandClappingGesture(this.Skeleton); break; case GestureType.TwoHandsRaised: this.MatchTwoHandsRaisedGesture(this.Skeleton); break; default: break; }

Gesture Recognition Engine float previousDistance = 0.0f; private void MatchHandClappingGesture(Skeleton skeleton) { if (skeleton == null) { return; } if (skeleton.Joints[JointType.HandRight].TrackingState == JointTrackingState.Tracked && skeleton.Joints[JointType.HandLeft].TrackingState == JointTrackingState.Tracked) { float currentDistance = GetJointDistance(skeleton.Joints[JointType.HandRight], skeleton.Joints[JointType.HandLeft]); if (currentDistance 0.1f) { if (this.GestureRecognized != null) { this.GestureRecognized(this, new GestureEventArgs(GestureType.HandsClapping, RecognitionResult.Success)); } previousDistance = currentDistance; }

Gesture Recognition Engine private void MatchTwoHandsRaisedGesture(Skeleton skeleton) { if (skeleton == null) { return; } float threshold = 0.3f; if (skeleton.Joints[JointType.HandRight].Position.Y > skeleton.Joints[JointType.Head].Position.Y + threshold && skeleton.Joints[JointType.HandLeft].Position.Y > skeleton.Joints[JointType.Head].Position.Y + threshold) { if (this.GestureRecognized != null) { this.GestureRecognized(this, new GestureEventArgs(GestureType.TwoHandsRaised,RecognitionResult.Success)); }

Gesture Recognition Engine private float GetJointDistance(Joint firstJoint, Joint secondJoint) { float distanceX = firstJoint.Position.X - secondJoint.Position.X; float distanceY = firstJoint.Position.Y - secondJoint.Position.Y; float distanceZ = firstJoint.Position.Z - secondJoint.Position.Z; return (float)Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(distanceX, 2) + Math.Pow(distanceY, 2) + Math.Pow(distanceZ, 2)); }

Vectors, Dot Product, Angles Vector3 seg; seg.X = Joint1.Position.X – Joint2.Position.X; seg.Y = Joint1.Position.Y – Joint2.Position.Y; seg.Z = Joint1.Position.Z – Joint2.Position.Z; Segments of body can be represented using vectors  You can create a class/struct for Vector3 or use Unity Vector3 type Dot product of two vectors Angle formed by two vectors in degrees Vector3 seg1, seg2; float dotproduct = seg1.X*seg2.X+seg1.Y*seg2.Y+seg1.Z*seg2.Z; Vector3 seg1, seg2; float dotproduct = seg1.X*seg2.X+seg1.Y*seg2.Y+seg1.Z*seg2.Z; float seg1magnitude = Math.Sqt(seg1.X*seg1.X+seg1.Y*seg1.Y+seg1.Z*seg1.Z); float seg2magnitude = Math.Sqt(seg2.X*seg2.X+seg2.Y*seg2.Y+seg2.Z*seg2.Z); float angle = Math.Acos(dotproduct/seg1magnitude/seg2magnitude)*180/Math.PI;
