Intel RealSense D435i hand-tracking samples

  Hi Antonsrial. This sample program was published shortly before the 400 Series cameras first became available.  The guide speculated that support for those cameras may be added, but as far as I know the program was not updated for the 400 Series.  The D435i was released about a year after the first 400 Series cameras and would have even less chance of being compatible with this hand tracking program.

   

  For defining a convolutional neural network (CNN) to work with the 400 Series cameras, I would recommend the free open source OpenVINO Toolkit and its RealSense compatibility wrapper.

  If you are more interested in hand gestures than convolutional neural networks, the Nuitrack SDK commercial skeleton tracking software is compatible with the 400 Series, including D435i.

  If however you require very fine control over hand joint tracking, an advanced level seminar on YouTube by Intel about training a joint recognition system with RealSense cameras may be helpful

  Hi Marty, thanks for the reply! I asume the sample doesn't work so I will look for another solution. What is the utility of the CNN for hand-tracking?

  Someone wrote a hand tracking demo program for OpenVINO.
