Technical Gestures Recognition by Set-Valued Hidden Markov Models with Prior Knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hidden Markov models are popular tools for gesture recognition. Once the generative processes of gestures have been identified, an observation sequence is usually classified as the gesture having the highest likelihood, thus ignoring possible prior information. In this paper, we consider two potential improvements of such methods: the inclusion of prior information, and the possibility of considering convex sets of probabilities (in the likelihoods and the prior) to infer imprecise, but more reliable, predictions when information is insufficient. We apply the proposed approach to technical gestures, typically characterized by severe class imbalance. By modelling such imbalances as a prior information, we achieve more accurate results, while the imprecise quantification is shown to produce more reliable estimates.

Recognizing Surgical Activities with Recurrent Neural Networks
We apply recurrent neural networks to the task of recognizing surgical activities from robot kinematics. Prior work in this area focuses on recognizing short, low-level activities, or gestures, and has been based on variants of hidden Markov models and conditional random fields. In contrast, we work on recognizing both gestures and longer, higher-level activites, or maneuvers, and we model the ...
متن کاملA new approach for touch gesture recognition: Conversive Hidden non-Markovian Models
With the current boom of touch devices the recognition of touch gestures is becoming an important field of research. Performing such gestures can be seen as a stochastic process, as there can be many little differences between different executions. Therefore stochastic models like Hidden Markov Models have already been applied to gesture recognition. Although the modelling possibilities of Hidd...

Hand Gesture Recognition Using Input-Output Hidden Markov Models
A new hand gesture recognition method based on Input– Output Hidden Markov Models is presented. This method deals with the dynamic aspects of gestures. Gestures are extracted from a sequence of video images by tracking the skin–color blobs corresponding to the hand into a body– face space centered on the face of the user. Our goal is to recognize two classes of gestures: deictic and symbolic.
