The dataset contains example images for female and male hands, both with and without interaction with objects.

Directory structure:
* CameraCalibration_640x480.txt
* joints.png
* license.txt
* README.txt (this file)
* <gender>_<object>/
	* seqID/
		* virtualCameraID/
			* partition/ (s.t. every directory contains 500 example frames)

For every frame, the following data is provided:
- depth: 			16-bit depth image (in mm)
- color_on_depth: 	24-bit color image mapped to the depth view 
					(i.e., the intrinsics and extrinsics correspond to the depth camera and only valid depth pixels have an assigned color)
- color: 			24-bit color image of the hand (and object), with chroma-keyed background ready for augmentation (RGB-key: 14, 255, 14)
- joint_pos: 		3D joint positions in the coordinate system of the depth camera (in mm). The values are organized as a linear concatenation 
					of the x,y,z-position of every joint (joint1_x, joint1_y, joint1_z, joint2_x, ...).
					The order of the 21 joints is as follows: W, T0, T1, T2, T3, I0, I1, I2, I3, M0, M1, M2, M3, R0, R1, R2, R3, L0, L1, L2, L3.
					Please also see joints.png for a visual explanation.
