Hand Posture Classification by Means of a New Contour Signature
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with hand posture recognition. Thanks to an adequate setup, we afford a database of hand photographs. We propose a novel contour signature, obtained by transforming the image content into several signals. The proposed signature is invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling. It can be used for posture classification purposes. We generate this signature out of photographs of hands: experiments show that the proposed signature provides good recognition results, compared to Hu moments and Fourier descriptors.

Spatio-Temporal Hough Forest for efficient detection-localisation-recognition of fingerwriting in egocentric camera
Recognising fingerwriting in mid-air is a useful input tool for wearable egocentric camera. In this paper we propose a novel framework to this purpose. Specifically, our method first detects a writing hand posture and locates the position of index fingertip in each frame. From the trajectory of the fingertip, the written character is localised and recognised simultaneously. To achieve this chal...
متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
متن کاملShow Your Hands: A Vision-Based Approach to User Identification on Interactive Surfaces
User identification opens up new interaction possibilities on interactive surfaces. Yet many current multi-touch systems only detect isolated touches and cannot identify users. This paper presents a low-cost, biometric method for user identification for vision-based interactive surfaces. To identify users, we extract characteristic contour features from a flat hand posture and use Support Vecto...

Background and aim: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are widespread around the world and are the second most common cause of disability in work settings. A number of occupational factors such as forceful exertions, awkward postures, repetitive movements, and local contact stress can lead to the development of musculoskeletal problems. There is an association between the use of hand tools and o...
