Spatio-Temporally Optimized Multi-sensor Motion Fusion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The latest advances in smart sensor technology, e.g., Leap Motion Sensor, has increased the precision in tracking fully articulated human hand and finger movements, without the need for placing electrical or optical markers. A remaining challenge is finger occlusion, which can affect tracking accuracy. In this paper, we introduce a spatio-temporal optimization technique for motion data generated from multiple sensors. We demonstrate that our algorithm can produce a fused stream of probabilistic optimal hand poses, by improving local spatial domain analysis and proposing a fast and effective flow analysis technique in the temporal domain, which computes how well the hand pose estimation in the current frame fits the movement flow within a time segment. By using an artificial hand to represent the hand pose ground truth at selected time steps, experimental results demonstrate that our spatio-temporal optimization algorithm increases the estimation accuracy by 6% compared to the reference method, achieving an overall accuracy of 91.29%. Our proposed method can be used offline or in real-time, and can benefit a wide range of applications, including surgical planning and training, where hand motion is the focus of performance efficiency and assessment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
