RoFin: 3D Hand Pose Reconstructing via 2D Rolling Fingertips

Published:18 June 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Smart homes, medical devices, and education systems, among other emerging cyber-physical systems, hold immense promise for sensing-based user interfaces, especially for using fingers and hand gestures as system input. However, vision approaches compatible with time-consuming image processing adopt low 60 Hz location sampling rate (frame rate) for real-time hand gesture recognition. Furthermore, they are not suitable for low-light environment and long detection range. In this paper, we propose RoFin, which first exploits 6 temporal-spatial 2D rolling fingertips for real-time 3D reconstructing of 20-joint hand pose. RoFin designs active optical labeling for finger identification and enhances inside-frame 3D location tracking via high rolling shutter rate (5--8 KHz). These features enable great potentials for enhanced multi-user HCI, virtual writing for Parkinson suffers, etc. We implement RoFin prototypes with wearable gloves attached with low-power single-colored LED nodes and commercial cameras. The experiment results show that (1) In flexible sensing distances up to 2.5 m, RoFin achieves an average labeling parsing accuracy of 85%. (2) In comparison to vision-based techniques, RoFin improves the tracking grain with 4× more sampled points each frame. (3) RoFin reconstructs a hand pose in real time with 16 mm mean deviation error compared with Leap Motion under flexible distance.
