Hand Gesture Recognition: Submitted To

This document discusses hand gesture recognition systems. It describes the three main steps in classifying such systems: extraction, feature extraction, and classification. Extraction involves segmenting the hand from the background. Feature extraction identifies characteristics like hand shape or fingertip positions. Classification recognizes the gesture using methods like neural networks or HMM tools. The document also outlines applications like sign language and robot control, and challenges including orientation, computation time, and distance from the camera.

Introduction:
• To create a natural interaction between human and computer.
• Controlling a robot or conveying meaningful information.
• Interact with machine efficiently through human computer interaction.
• Human computer interaction (HCI) also named Man-Machine Interaction (MMI).
• Two main characteristics for designing a HCI system: functionality and usability.
• Functionality: the set of functions or services that system equips to the users.
• Usability: the level and scope that the system can operate and perform specific
user purposes efficiently.
• Types of Gestures: static and dynamic.
• Static Gesture: certain pose which require less computational complexity.
• Dynamic Gesture: sequence of postures which are more complex.
Gesture Recognition System Classification steps:
• Three steps for classification of Gesture Recognition System:
1. Extraction Method.
2. Features Extraction.
3. Classification.
Extraction Method:
• It is also called segmentation process.
• Segmentation process is the process for recognizing hand gestures.
• It is the process of dividing the input image into regions separated
by boundaries.
• The segmentation process depends on the type of gesture:
1. If it is dynamic gesture then the hand gesture need to be located
and tracked.
2. If it is static gesture (posture) the input image have to be
segmented only.
• In dynamic gesture the hand should be located firstly, generally a
bounding box is used to specify the depending on the skin color and
secondly, the hand have to be tracked.
• Different tools and methods used to model the hand. These methods are
parametric and non-parametric.
• Gaussian Model and Gaussian Mixture Model are parametric methods.
• Histogram based techniques are non- parametric methods.
• Some factors that obstacle the segmentation process which is:
complex background, illumination changes, low video quality.
• Figure shows some segmentation method examples:
Features Extraction:
• For feature extraction some methods used the shape of the hand
such as hand contour and silhouette while others utilized fingertip
position, palm center, etc.
• Self-Growing and Self-Organized Neural Gas (SGONG) neural
algorithm to capture the shape of the hand.
Gestures Classification:
• Gesture classification method is used to recognize the gesture.
• Euclidean distance, Statistical tools used for gesture classification.
• HMM tool used to recognize dynamic gestures.
• Neural network, K-means clustering used to extract the hand
shape, and for gesture recognition.
APPLICATION AREAS OF HAND GESTURES SYSTEM:
• Sign Language Recognition.
• Robot Control.
• Graphic Editor Control.
• Virtual Environments ( VEs).
• Numbers Recognition.
• Television Control.
• 3D Modeling.
DRAWBACKS:
• Orientation histogram: similar gestures might have different orientation
histograms and different gestures could have
similar orientation histograms.
• Neural Network: it is time consuming and time needed for classification
are increased with increase in training data set.
• Fuzzy c-means clustering: wrong object extraction if the
objects larger than the hand. The
performance decreases when the distance
greater than 1.5 meters between the user
and the camera.
• Neural Network: HMM tools are perfect for recognition dynamic
CONCLUSIONS:
• Work application areas for the gestures system are presented.
• Explanation of gesture recognition issues.
