## Description

This script uses the Model Based Vision (MBV) libraries created by the Computer Vision and Robotics Lab at ICS/FORTH. The libraries are free for academic and non-profit use under this [licence](licence.txt).

It implements a hand tracker pipeline described first in [Oikonomidis et al: Efficient model-based 3D tracking of hand articulations using Kinect](http://users.ics.forth.gr/~argyros/mypapers/2011_09_bmvc_kinect_hand_tracking.pdf).

### Windows

OpenCV is statically built with the provided binaries. Thread building blocks can be found in the 3rd party library binaries of [the download section](#download). The same holds for the required OpenNI and Kinect 2 SDKs. For python support it is suggested to use [anaconda] (https://www.continuum.io/downloads). After installing Anaconda, the installation of numpy is a simple as executing the following in the command line:

Also, download and install SDK and drivers from [the download section](#download).

### Usage

Make sure the current working directory is the root of HandTracker and that <tt>MBV_LIBS</tt> is set. Also make sure to have a working installation of OpenNI 1.x (SDK and drivers).
Make sure the current working directory is the root of HandTracker and that <tt>MBV_LIBS</tt> is set.

Run the `runme.sh` (Ubuntu) or `runme.bat` (Windows) script to test the hand tracker. Press `s` to stop/start 3D hand tracking.
