As ToF data tends to be overly noisy depending on various factors such as illumination, reflection coefficient and distance, the need for a robust algorithmic approach becomes evident. By spanning a three-dimensional grid of fixed size around each point cloud we are able to transform three-dimensional input to become processable by CNNs. This simple and effective neighborhood-preserving methodology demonstrates that CNNs are indeed able to extract the relevant information and learn a set of filters, enabling them to differentiate a complex set of ten different gestures obtained from 20 different individuals and containing 600.000 samples overall. Our 20-fold cross-validation shows the generalization performance of the network, achieving an accuracy of up to 98.5% on validation sets comprising 20.000 data samples. The real-time applicability of our system is demonstrated via an interactive validation on an infotainment system running with up to 40fps on an iPad in the vehicle interior.
