Password Recognition, Authentication, Gesture password INTRODUCTION The advent of relatively cheap image and depth sensors has spurred research in the field of object tracking and gesture recognition. One of the more popular devices used to do this type of research is Microsoft’s Kinect, which has sensors that capture both rgb and depth data. Using similar data, researchers have developed algorithms that not only identify humans in a scene, but perform full body tracking; they can infer a person’s
