This project is able to recognize the ten digit hand gestures with a commercial depth camera. This implementation is based on part of our work in the two papers [1, 2], which first uses the method in [1] to parse the hand into 12 different hand parts and extract the joints from the parsed hand parts, and then use the template matching method in [2] to recognize the hand gesture. The project is written in C++/OpenCV and runs in real-time.
