Abstract

This paper shows a novel method to extract hand Representative Point (RP) based on 2-dimensional laser range scanner for hand motion estimation on projecting system. Image-projecting Desktop Arm Trainer (IDAT) is a projecting system for hand-eye coordination training, in which a projector displays an exercise screen on the desktop, and a laser range scanner detects trainee's hand motion. To realize multi-user HMI and expand more entertainment functions in IDAT system, an Air Hockey application was developed in which the hand RP requires a high precision. To generate hand RP precisely, we proposed our method in two parts to solve the data error problem and changeable hand contour problem. In part one, a data modifier is proposed and a sub-experiment is carried out to establish a modifying function for correcting sensor original data. In part two, we proposed three RP algorithms and carried out an evaluation experiment to estimate the reliability of three algorithms under different conditions. From the result, we get the most reliable algorithm corresponding to different situations in which the error of hand RP is less than 9.6 mm.
