Hand Gesture Recognition Algorithm: A Real-Time Human-Body-Based Approach

Abstract:

Despite the appearance of high-tech human computer interface (HCI) devices, pattern recognition and gesture recognition with single camera are still playing vital role in research. A real-time human-body based algorithm for hand gesture recognition is proposed in this paper. The basis of our approach is a combination of moving object segmentation process and skin color detector based on human body structure to obtain the moving hands from input images, which is able to deal with the problem of complex background and random noises, and a rotate correction process for better finger detection. With ten fingers detected, more than 1000 gestures can be recognized before concerning motion paths. This paper includes experimental results of five gestures, which can be extended to other conditions. Experiments show that the algorithm can achieve a 99 percent recognition average rate and is suitable for real-time applications.
