For a description of our method see:

M. Oberweger and V. Lepetit. DeepPrior++: Improving Fast and Accurate 3D Hand Pose Estimation. In ICCV Workshop, 2017.

Setup:

• Put dataset files into ./data (e.g. ICVL, or MSRA (thanks to @geliuhao for providing), or NYU dataset)
• Goto ./src and see the main file test_realtimepipeline.py how to handle the API
• Camera interface for the Creative Senz3D is included in ./src/util. Build them with cmake . && make.

Pretrained models:

Download pretrained models for ICVL and NYU dataset.

Datasets:

The ICVL and MSRA dataset is trained for a time-of-flight camera, and the NYU dataset for a structured light camera. The annotations are different. See the papers for it.
