  Hand Gesture is a popular way to interact or control machines and it has been
implemented in many applications. The geometry of hand is such that it is hard
to construct in virtual environment and control the joints but the
functionality and DOF encourage researchers to make a hand like instrument.
This paper presents a novel method for fingertips detection and centres of
palms detection distinctly for both hands using MS KINECT in 3D from the input
image. KINECT facilitates us by providing the depth information of foreground
objects. The hands were segmented using the depth vector and centres of palms
were detected using distance transformation on inverse image. This result would
be used to feed the inputs to the robotic hands to emulate human hands
operation.
