Generally, dynamic hand gesture recognition is formed through preprocessing step, hand tracking step and hand shape detection step. In this paper, we present advanced dynamic hand gesture recognizing method that improves performance in preprocessing step and hand shape detection step. In preprocessing step, we remove noise fast by using dynamic table and detect skin color exactly on complex background for controling skin color range in skin color detection method using YCbCr color space. Especially, we increase recognizing speed in hand shape detection step through detecting Start Image and Stop Image, that are elements of dynamic hand gesture recognizing, using Guideline. Guideline is edge of input hand image and hand shape for comparing. We perform various experiments with nine web-cam video clips that are separated to complex background and simple background for dynamic hand gesture recognition method in the paper. The result of experiment shows similar recognition ratio but high recognition speed, low cpu usage, low memory usage than recognition method using learning exercise.

A glove design which reflects the changes in hand surface by hand motion can reduce the undesirable effects of use of gloves on hand performance. The present study examined changes in hand length dimensions due to hand motion and identified significant factors affecting the length changes. Recruiting 120 males and females in their 20s and 30s having various hand lengths, this study measured 10 hand length dimensions, defined at 2 hand areas(phalangeal and metacarpal areas) for 5 digits, when the hand is stretched and in fist, and then calculated the percentage of length increase for each dimension. ANOVA and simple-effect analyses showed the length change percentages were mainly different depending on digit and hand area: 111-127% at the phalangeal area and 112-116% at the metacarpal area. The length change percentages of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers in the phalangeal area ascended in order and showed a high correlation(r = 0.94)with the ranges of motion of the fingers.

This paper proposes a human mouse system that replaces mouse input by human hand movement. As the resolution of monitors increases, it is not quite possible, due to the resolution difference between web cameras and monitors, to place the cursor in the entire range of a monitor by simply moving the pointer which recognizes the position of the hand from the web camera. In this regard, we propose an effective method of placing the position of the mouse, without repeating the returning hand movements, in the corners of the monitor in which the user wants it to be. We also proposes the recognition method of finger movements in terms of using thumb and index finger. The measurement that we conducted shows the successful recognition rate of 97% that corroborates the effectiveness of our method.

A computer presentation system by using hand-motion identification rules is proposed. To identify hand motions of a presenter, a face region is extracted first using haar classifier. A motion status(patterns) and position of hands is discriminated using the center of gravities of user's face and hand after segmenting the hand area on the YCbCr color model. User's hand is applied to the motion detection rules and then presentation control command is then executed. The proposed system utilizes the motion identification rules without the use of additional equipment and it is then capable of controlling the presentation and does not depend on the complexity of the background. The proposed algorithm confirmed the stable control operation via the presentation of the experiment in the dark illumination range of indoor atmosphere (lx) 15-20-30.

인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(HCI) 기술은 과거 컴퓨터란 어렵고 소수의 숙련자만이 다루는 것이라는 인식을 바꾸어 놓았다. HCI 는 컴퓨터 사용자인 인간에게 거부감 없이 수용되기 위해 인간과 컴퓨터가 조화를 이루는데 많은 성과를 거두어왔다. 컴퓨터 비전에 기반을 두고 인간과 컴퓨터의 상호작용을 위하여 사용자 의도 및 행위 인식 연구들이 많이 행해져 왔다. 특히 손을 이용한 제스처는 인간과 인간, 인간과 컴퓨터 그리고 최근에 각광받고 있는 인간과 로봇의 상호작용에 중요한 역할을 해오고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 손 추출 및 추적 알고리즘은 비전에 기반한 호출자 인식과 손 추적 알고리즘을 병행한 자연스러운 손 추출 및 추적 알고리즘이다. 인간과 인간 사이의 상호간의 주의집중 방식인 호출 제스처를 인식하여 기반하여 사용자가 인간과 의사소통 하는 것과 마찬가지로 컴퓨터/로봇의 주의집중을 끌도록 하였다. 또한 호출 제스처에 의해서 추출된 손동작을 추적하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 호출 제스처는 카메라 앞에 존재할 때 컴퓨터/로봇의 사용자가 자신에게 주의를 끌 수 있는 자연스러운 행동이다. 호출 제스처 인식을 통해 복수의 사람이 존재하는 상황 하에서 또한 원거리에서도 사용자는 자신의 의사를 전달하고자 함을 컴퓨터/로봇에게 알릴 수 있다. 호출 제스처를 이용한 손 추출 방식은 자연스러운 손 추출을 할 수 있도록 한다. 현재까지 알려진 손 추출 방식은 피부색을 이용하고 일정 범위 안에 손이 존재한다는 가정하에 이루어져왔다. 이는 사용자가 제스처를 하기 위해서는 특정 자세로 고정되어 있어야 함을 의미한다. 그러나 호출 제스처를 통해 손을 추출하게 될 경우 서거나 앉거나 심지어 누워있는 상태 등 자연스러운 자세에서 손을 추출할 수 있게 되어 사용자의 불편함을 해소 할 수 있다. 손 추적 알고리즘은 자연스러운 상황에서 획득된 손의 위치 정보를 추적하도록 고안되었다. 제안한 알고리즘은 색깔정보와 모션 정보를 융합하여 손의 위치를 검출한다. 손의 피부색 정보는 신경망으로 다양한 피부색 그룹과 피부색이 아닌 그룹을 학습시켜 얻었다. 손의 모션 정보는 연속 영상에서 프레임간에 일정 수준 이상의 차이를 보이는 영역을 추출하였다. 피부색정보와 모션정보로 융합된 영상에서 블랍 분석을 하고 이를 민쉬프트로 추적하여 손을 추적하였다. 제안된 손 추출 및 추적 방법은 컴퓨터/로봇의 사용자가 인간과 마주하듯 컴퓨터/로봇의 서비스를 받을 수 있도록 하는데 주목적을 두고 있다.

With recent rapid development of computer capabilities, various technologies that can facilitate the interaction between humans and computers are being studied. The paradigm tends to change to NUI using the body such as 3D motion, haptics, and multi-touch with GUI using traditional input devices. Various studies have been conducted on transferring human movements to computers using sensors. In addition to the development of optical sensors that can acquire 3D objects, the range of applications in the industrial, medical, and user interface fields has been expanded. In this paper, I provide a model that can execute other programs through gestures instead of the mouse, which is the default input device, and control Windows based on the lip motion. To propose a model which converges with an Android application and can be controlled by various media and voice instruction functions using voice recognition and buttons through connection with a main client. It is expected that Internet media such as video and music can be controlled not only by a client computer but also by an application at a long distance and that convenient media viewing can be performed through the proposal model.

We have developed an interactive signage system based on floating hologram by combining hologram technology and ICT technology, which can be competitive to small businesses that have excellent products and services. The developed interactive signage system can be used for publicity and marketing of small business owners at low cost, introducing menus with 3D hologram images, and providing various contents responding to user's hand movements. The developed system is able to detect 10 finger movements at a rate of 290 frames per second in a range of 60cm and a range of 150 degrees. We also confirmed that the virtual touch function operates normally by dividing the user's motion recognition into the hover zone and the touch zone by the physical motion experiment of the leap motion object.
