Kinect SDK for finger detection?

I'm a student from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. And currently developing a project using Kinect SDK.

And my question is, anyone know how to develop a program to detect a finger (or fingertip) using Kinect SDK, or maybe even some possible reference codes. Anyway, I also tried to search on google, but the only reference I got is using Open NI, instead of Kinect SDK.

Thanks and Regards

Can Kinect detect fingers?

The Kinect sensor is a cheap and wildly spread sensor with valuable features, such as a depth sensor and full body joints tracking. However, the Kinect SDK does not support finger tracking.

What is finger tracking system?

The finger tracking system is focused on user-data interaction, where the user interacts with virtual data, by handling through the fingers the volumetric of a 3D object that we want to represent. This system was born based on the human-computer interaction problem.

I was looking into that myself, although haven't gone deep into it.

OpenNI has some constants for finger tip/wrist detection, but that's not implemented yet, but that's not an option for your setup anyway.

Here's a list of resources that hopefully will get you started:

  • MIT CSAIL Hand detection

  • FORTH ICS - Efficient model-based 3D tracking of hand articulations using Kinect

Forth ICS hand tracking

  • Candescent NUI project
