Gesture Recognition System using Motion Information  

Han, Young-Hwan (상지대학교 컴퓨터정보공학부)
Abstract
In this paper, we propose the gesture recognition system using a motion information from extracted hand region in complex background image. First of all, we measure entropy for the difference image between continuous frames. Using a color information that is similar to a skin color in candidate region which has high value, we extract hand region only from background image. On the extracted hand region, we detect a contour using the chain code and recognize hand gesture by applying improved centroidal profile method. In the experimental results for 6 kinds of hand gesture, unlike existing methods, we can stably recognize hand gesture in complex background and illumination changes without marker. Also, it shows the recognition rate with more than 95% for person and 90∼100% for each gesture at 15 frames/second.
