Abstract

The aspects of the disclosed embodiments relate to the field of a cabinet x-ray incorporating hand gesture command operation for the production of organic and non-organic images. The computing device receives video of hand gesture data and determines, based on the video of hand gesture data, a hand gesture-initiated action. In particular, the invention relates to a system and method with corresponding apparatus for commanding the cabinet x-ray unit to attain and optimize images utilizing hand-gestures.

Claims (20)

1 . A cabinet x-ray system incorporating a hand gesture command module, comprising:

A. a cabinet x-ray system

B. a base unit including an image processor and a display;

C. a video camera connected to the base unit, including:

i. software or hand gesture-recognition module;

ii. a system configured to receive analog signals relating to hand gesture commands;

iii. a means to verify that a hand gesture command is recognized;

iv. a gesture glossary;

v. a processing unit that controls the gesture recognition modules and an analog-to-digital converter, causing the cabinet x-ray system to function; and

vi. an interface for enabling an analog/digital signal to be transferred from the video camera to the computer of the base unit.

2 . The method as defined in claim 1 , further comprising responsive to determining a hand gesture-initiated action based on a video of hand gesture data, performing, by the computing device, the hand gesture-initiated action.

3 . The method of claim 2 wherein, determining the hand gesture-initiated action further comprises: determining, by the computing device and based in part on a date from the computing device, a context; determined, by the computing device and based at least in part on the context, the hand gesture-initiated action.

4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the items examined are organic and non-organic.

5 . A computing device comprising:

at least one processor, and

at least one module operable by the at least one processor to:

output, for display, verification of the speech command;

receive video of hand gesture data;

determining, based on the video of hand gesture data, a hand gesture-initiated action;

and responsive to determining the hand gesture-initiated action, output for display a change of the GUI to indicate that the hand gesture-initiated command has been determined and recognized.
