I am trying to implement a gesture recognition system which interprets the geometric gestures user makes and draws it on screen,

I have some idea of how circle can be recognized, however i have no clue how to get started with triangle recognition.

the data I have is X and Y coordinates of all points the gesture passed through. I get this data by tracking right hand.

I found something online called Hough Transform , which is used for detecting lines but i am not sure whether it will work for discrete collection of points,

Any ideas folks?
