Contactless Human-Machine-Interfaces (HMIs) are an important issue in various applications where a haptic in-teraction with an input device is not possible or not appro-priate. Newly developed Time-of-Flight cameras provide 3D information of the observed scene in real-time at con-stant lateral resolutions of thousands of pixels. Addition-ally, a gray-value image of the observed scene is available. Our work compromises three major contributions: First, the robust and real-time capable segmentation of the hand by incorporating 3D and gray-value information; Second, the reliable classification of the performed static gesture using robust features; Third, the design of an HMI which uses the classified gesture as well as the 3D position of the hand to enable complex and convenient user interactions. The benefit of using a ToF camera is that the 3D information is just not available from classical 2D camera systems and thus only with ToF cameras the three dimensions of free-dom which are given for non-haptic interactions can be fully used. Currently, classification rates of 98.2% are achieved user-dependent and 94.3% user-independent for 6 gestures. Tests with untrained persons yielded a good to very good acceptance of the HMI. © 2008 IEEE.
