Dynamic mode switching of 2D/3D multi-modal camera for efficient gesture detection

摘要

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for dynamically controlling a multi-modal camera system to take advantage of the benefits of sensing gestures with a 2D camera, while overcoming the challenges associated with 2D cameras for performing gesture detection. In certain embodiments, the multi-modal camera system includes an RGB camera and a depth camera, thus providing both a 2D and a 3D capture mode.
