Using Ultrasound Images of the Forearm to Predict Finger Positions

Medical ultrasound imaging is a well-known technique to gather live views of the interior of the human body. It is totally safe, it provides high spatial and temporal resolution, and it is nowadays available at any hospital. This suggests that it could be used as a human-computer interface. In this paper, we use ultrasound images of the human forearm to predict the finger positions, including thumb adduction and thumb rotation. Our experimental...
