Using OpenCV to Detect Fingertips Instead of Faces

Question

I use the faceetect example and from there. Now he only defines faces. Can someone point me in the direction of detecting the fingertips. Thanks

Answer 1

Place a simple, bright fluorescent sticker on your fingertip with a black dot in the center or something like that. or even wrap a finger with a pattern printed on it, which can be easily distinguished from the camera, and your problem is very solved.

Answer 2

You can use cvFindContours, and then check each path to see if it can be the tip of the finger and go from there.
