Abstract :
In this paper we present an approach for animating a virtual hand model with the animation data extracting from hand tracking results. We track the hand by using particle filters and deformable contour templates with a Web camera; then we extend the 2D tracking results into 3D animation data using inverse kinematics method; finally, local frame based method is proposed to simulate a 3D virtual hand with the 3D animation data. Our system performs in real time.
