Embedding Gesture Prior to Joint Shape Optimization Based Real-Time 3D Hand Tracking

Real Time Hand Tracking and Gesture Rec

This paper outlines a system design and implementation of a 3D input device for graphical applications which uses real time hand tracking and gesture recognition to provide the user with an intuitive interface for tomorrow’s applications. Point Distribution Models (PDMs) have been shown to be successful at tracking deformable objects . This system demonstrates how these ‘smart snakes’ can be us...

Real Time Hand Tracking and Gesture Recognition

Neural Network Performance Analysis for Real Time Hand Gesture Tracking Based on Hu Moment and Hybrid Features

This paper presents a comparison study between the multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks with supervised learning and back propagation algorithm to track hand gestures. Both networks have two output classes which are hand and face. Skin is detected by a regional based algorithm in the image, and then networks are applied on video sequences frame by frame in...

Real Time Hand Gesture Recognition Including Hand Segmentation and Tracking

In this paper we present a system that performs automatic gesture recognition. The system consists of two main components: (i) A unified technique for segmentation and tracking of face and hands using a skin detection algorithm along with handling occlusion between skin objects to keep track of the status of the occluded parts. This is realized by combining 3 useful features, namely, color, mot...

Real Time Trajectory Based Hand Gesture Recognition

The recognition of hand gestures from image sequences is an important and challenging problem. This paper presents a robust solution to track and recognize a list of hand gestures from their trajectory. The main tools of the proposed solution are robust kernel density estimation and the related mean shift algorithm, used in both video tracking and trajectory segmentation. The gesture definition...
