We present an approach to viewpoint invariant hand detection which merges model based representation of shape and exact curve matching with graph search in order to achieve a very low false alarm rate system able to work in real time. The method proposed makes few assumptions on the articulated object nature and can be applied to recognize other articulated objects as well.
