I'm just wondering about how the fingertips of a hand gesture are detected.

I am using this finger counts for finger spelling. More specifically, I am working on C# with AFORGE.NET and want to use convex-hull algorithm for it. Everything I can find is done in the OPENCV platform.

Please suggest a method of finding the fingertip count in C#, and if possible without using OPENCV platform.

    Why not ask on the AFORGE forum? http://www.aforgenet.com/forum/ – Mike Atlas Jul 24 '12 at 13:28
  • Mike, Obviously, because it is closed http://www.aforgenet.com/news/2012.04.01.end_of_free_public_support.html – Grigory Jul 24 '12 at 13:30
  • Even worse, why use a closed project at all? Is there a forked continuation? – Mike Atlas Jul 24 '12 at 13:33
  • Thanks @Grigory, i do not even noticed that AFORGE public support is already closed. After way any ideas on what i am doing?? – tnchalise Jul 24 '12 at 13:34
  • I think you're doing this the wrong way: This is a very specialized problem and AFORGE is a niche-framework, the chances to find someone who can answer both the algorithm question *and* the specific implementation problems are very slim. Better ask a general question on how to detect fingertips (include sample images!) using OpenCV, Matlab or whatever platform. Then try to port that to AFORGE, and ask *specific* questions about AFORGE (like "how do I reproduce Matlab's `imremap` command"?) when you're stuck. – Niki Jul 24 '12 at 18:27

With Kinect you can use OpenKinect or the Kinect for Windows SDK using this hack by CSAIL.
