For a description of our method see:

M. Oberweger, P. Wohlhart, and V. Lepetit. Hands Deep in Deep Learning for Hand Pose Estimation. In Computer Vision Winter Workshop, 2015.

Setup:

• Put dataset files into ./data (e.g. ICVL dataset, or NYU dataset )
• Goto ./src and see the main file test_realtimepipeline.py how to handle the API
• Camera interface for the Creative Senz3D is included in ./src/util. Build them with cmake . && make.

Pretrained models:

Download pretrained models for ICVL and NYU dataset.

Datasets:

The ICVL dataset is trained for a time-of-flight camera, and the NYU dataset for a structured light camera. The annotations are different. See the papers for it.
