본 연구에서는 효과적인 손 제스처 인식을 위하여 다중 특징을 이용한 견고한 손 추적 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 많은 손추적 장치들이 칼라 정보나 모션 정보와 같은 단일한 정보를 바탕으로 손을 검출하고, 이를 바탕으로 손의 추적하는 방법들을 제시하고 있다. 이러한 방법들의 경우에는 손 추적 중에 환경이나 상황이 변하게 되면, 손추적의 정확도가 현저하게 떨어지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 보완하기 위하여, Adaboost를 이용한 손 검출, 역투영을 기반으로 손 색상을 이용한 추적, KLT를 바탕으로 한 모션 추적을 이용한 검출을 동시에 수행하며, 각 센서의 추적 결과에 대한 칼만 필터 적용뿐 아니라, 각 센서 정보를 통합하여 견고한 결과를 얻기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 이를 바탕으로 손제스처 인식 시스템을 개발하였으며, 개발된 제스처 인식을 바탕으로 비디오 플레이를 제어하는 시스템을 구현하였다.

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.

This study is to identify the awareness and performance of hand washing according to the presence of Medical care onboard of Seafarers and provide basic data of education on hand washing that can be practically applied. 118 Seafarers were the study subjects and we distributed to those who agreed to participate in the study to carry out survey using questionnaire. The results showed that the average number of hand washing per day was 1~4 times (70 students, 59.3%). In the difference in hand washing perception according to the medical care board, statistically significant differences were found in all items except 'it needs to be completely dried after hand washing'(p<0.05). The difference in hand washing performance according to in-flight medical care was found to be statistically significant in all items except 'hand washing after coughing' and 'hand washing after touching money', 'before eating food such as drinks while working' and 'hand washing before patient contact' (p<0.05). The correlation between awareness and performance of hand washing showed that if awareness of hand washing is high, its performance is increased, too. We try to provide basic data of education on hand washing that can improve awareness and performance on hand washing based on the results of this study.

In this paper, we propose fingertip extraction and hand motion recognition method for augmented reality applications. First, an input image is transformed into HSV color space from RGB color space. A hand area is segmented using double thresholding of H, S value, region growing, and connected component analysis. Next, the end points of the index finger and thumb are extracted using morphology operation and subtraction for a virtual keyboard and mouse interface. Finally, the angle between the end points of the index finger and thumb with respect to the center of mass point of the palm is calculated to detect the touch between the index finger and thumb for implementing the click of a mouse button. Experimental results on various input images showed that our method segments the hand, fingertips, and recognizes the movements of the hand fast and accurately. Proposed methods can be used the input interface for augmented reality applications.

This paper presents a vision based walking robot control system using hand shape recognition. To recognize hand shapes, the accurate hand boundary needs to be tracked in image obtained from moving camera. For this, we use an active contour model-based tracking approach with mean shift which reduces dependency of the active contour model to location of initial curve. The proposed system is composed of four modules: a hand detector, a hand tracker, a hand shape recognizer and a robot controller. The hand detector detects a skin color region, which has a specific shape, as hand in an image. Then, the hand tracking is performed using an active contour model with mean shift. Thereafter the hand shape recognition is performed using Hue moments. To assess the validity of the proposed system we tested the proposed system to a walking robot, RCB-1. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed system.

The most natural way to increase immersion and provide free interaction in a virtual environment is to provide a gesture interface using the user's hand. However, most studies about hand gesture recognition require specialized sensors or equipment, or show low recognition rates. This paper proposes a three-dimensional DenseNet Convolutional Neural Network that enables recognition of hand gestures with no sensors or equipment other than an RGB camera for hand gesture input and introduces a virtual reality game based on it. Experimental results on 4 static hand gestures and 6 dynamic hand gestures showed that they could be used as real-time user interfaces for virtual reality games with an average recognition rate of 94.2% at 50ms. Results of this research can be used as a hand gesture interface not only for games but also for education, medicine, and shopping.

In this paper we proposed a vision based realtime hand gesture recognition method. To extract skin color, we translate RGB color space into YCbCr color space and use CbCr color for the final extraction. To find the center of extracted hand region we apply practical center point extraction algorithm. We use Kalman filter to tracking hand region and use HMM(Hidden Markov Model) algorithm (learning 6 type of hand gesture image) to recognize it. We demonstrated the effectiveness of our algorithm by some experiments.

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for hand gesture recognition. The hand detection method is based on human skin color, and we use the boundary energy information to locate the hand region accurately, then the moment method will be employed to locate the hand palm center. Hand gesture recognition can be separated into 2 step: firstly, the hand posture recognition: we employ the parallel NNs to deal with problem of hand posture recognition, pattern of a hand posture can be extracted by utilize the fitting ellipses method, which separates the detected hand region by 12 ellipses and calculates the white pixels rate in ellipse line. the pattern will be input to the NNs with 12 input nodes, the NNs contains 4 output nodes, each output node out a value within 0~1, the posture is then represented by composed of the 4 output codes. Secondly, the hand gesture tracking and recognition: we employed the Kalman filter to predict the position information of gesture to create the position sequence, distance relationship between positions will be used to confirm the gesture. The simulation have been performed on Windows XP to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm, for recognizing the hand posture, we used 300 training images to train the recognizing machine and used 200 images to test the machine, the correct number is up to 194. And for testing the hand tracking recognition part, we make 1200 times gesture (each gesture 400 times), the total correct number is 1002 times. These results shows that the proposed gesture recognition algorithm can achieve an endurable job for detecting the hand and its' gesture.
