WO 2010046101 A1 UPAB: 20100511 NOVELTY - The device (100) has a Hough transformer (130) for identifying curves in an image or in a preprocessed version of the image as identified gesture elements and for obtaining information (132) about the identified gesture elements. A gesture description generator (140) obtains a gesture description (142) using the information. A gesture classifier (150) e.g. database-comparator, compares the gesture description to a set of comparative gesture descriptions to which gesture codes are assigned. The classifier supplies a gesture code (120) of a detected gesture as a result of the comparison. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following: (1) a method for detecting gestures in an image (2) a computer program having instructions for performing a method for detecting gestures in an image (3) a camera system including a camera for supplying a camera signal. USE - Device for detecting gestures in an image in a camera system (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The utilization of the Hough transformer permits detection of gestures in the image in a reliable, fast and efficient manner, without requiring large resource expenses
