Real-Time 3D Hand Pose Estimation with 3D Convolutional Neural Networks

Daniel Thalmann, Hui Liang

In this paper, we present a novel method for real-time 3D hand pose estimation from single depth images using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Image-based features extracted by 2D CNNs are not directly suitable for 3D hand pose estimation due to th ...
