Dataset Information:

This dataset contains the description of the kinematic hand model that is provided by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for the Hand Corpus database. The axis locations are given in the form of transformation matrices. The method for deriving this hand model is described in [1]. These matrices describe the relative position and orientation of the bone and joint coordinate frames.

More information can be found on the report that accompanies the dataset.
