Gesture detection using color segmentation

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a method calculates a first color metric value from a detection window in a first image that is detected by a visual system. A second image of pixels is generated where the pixels include one or more second color metric values that meet the first color metric value within a threshold. The method compares the second image to an object. When the comparison meets a criterion, the method transitions from a first mode to a second mode. When the comparison does not meet the criterion, the method continues to operate in the first mode.
