Pointing gesture in young children

Hand Gesture Pointing Location Detection

Gesture recognition has been implemented in many systems for different purposes. The way it is used can be different from system to system. Few used them as touch objects using sensors while few use them as pointing object where the camera is in front of the hand, but the location is being pointed by human can be detected only if the camera is behind that person. This paper presents an automati...

Interactive Museum Exhibit Using Pointing Gesture Recognition

This paper describes a Mixed Reality-supported interactive museum exhibit. Using an easy and intuitive pointing gesture recognition system, the museum visitor is able to create his/her own exhibit choosing between different painters, artistic topics or just between different images. The usage of a video-based gesture tracking system ensures a seamless integration of Mixed Reality technologies i...

Beyond Pointing: Development of the “Showing” Gesture in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Speech and manual gesture coordination in a pointing task

This study explores the coordination between manual pointing gestures and gestures of the vocal tract. Using a novel methodology that allows for concurrent collection of audio, kinematic body and speech articulator trajectories, we ask 1) which particular gesture (vowel gesture, consonant gesture, or tone gesture) the pointing gesture is coordinated with, and 2) with which landmarks the two ges...

Context-Based Bounding Volume Morphing in Pointing Gesture Application

In the last few years the number of intelligent systems has been growing rapidly and classical interaction devices like mouse and keyboard are replaced in some use cases. Novel, goal-based interaction systems, e.g. based on gesture and speech allow a natural control of various devices. However, these are prone to misinterpretation of the user’s intention. In this work we present a method for su...
