Abstract: Hands are the central means by which humans interact with their surroundings. Hand detection, tracking, and understanding are therefore important research problems of computer vision, with a wide range of applications, from gesture recognition for augmented reality to contact tracing and skill evaluation. In this talk, I will describe our recent works in this area, for hand detection, tracking, association in images and videos.
