How to how accurate the data received from a leap device is?

[anketsp]

Just curious to know is there any value in the Frame object which can tell me how accurate the data from the frame is..
I know there is confidence value which is there, but apart from that is there any other value or set of values which I can compare and only use the frames which are accurate enough.

What do you mean by "accurate" in this case? Is it positional accuracy, pose recognition accuracy, some combination of the above?

[anketsp]

Combination of both actually..

The Confidence value is the closest value that we have to capture the accuracy of a given frame. You could try applying a smoothing filter or other techniques depending on your use case and whether real-time performance is important.

Thanks Alex for replying.. can you please tell me how this value is calculated on what basis? What is the algorithm used to calculate this value?
