Hi, iam developing a program to track the hand and i was able to develop CAMSHIFT algorithm to track the hand..Now i want to embedded it with Kalman filter..Does anyone know how to do it? Thanx in advance..:-)

This is not really a technical question. Have you tried to Google for information?

yes...i google it. but couldn't find a proper approach...i just wanted to get an idea...that is why i posted a question here...

These topics are too big to get a solution just from a forum.
Let's see. Kalman filter is used in control (estimation of state from noisy data), but I don't think it's related to hand tracking, which is close to image recognition. I think CAMSHIFT is closer, but it is only a part of bigger problem. Did you see, for example:

Oh, you say you already developed hand tracking with CAMSHIFT... thank you could explain the role of Kalman, I don't understand it. Anyway, you did not explain what's your problem. If you are simply looking for colleagues working in the same field, this might be not a right forum for you...

yes i have already developed it...but i want to improve it by embedding kalman filter to it..Thank you very much for the links....I will go through them :-)

Solution 1

An implementation of the Kalman-Filter is available in openCV as well. Since you allready use openCV you should start with their implementaion of this too.

See the documentation here:

This is the answer and the OP may be showing a lack of resourcefulness. With this answer and Google a mountain of information follows.
