Recent changes to ubiquitous computing requires more natural human-computer(HCI) interfaces that provide high information accessibility. Hand-gesture, i.e., gestures performed by one 'or two hands, is emerging as a viable technology to complement or replace conventional HCI technology. This paper deals with hand-posture recognition. Hand-posture database construction is important in hand-posture recognition. Human hand is composed of 27 bones and the movement of each joint is modeled by 23 degrees of freedom. Even for the same hand-posture,. grabbed images may differ depending on user's characteristic and relative position between the hand and cameras. To solve the difficulty in defining hand-postures and construct database effective in size, we present a method using a 3D hand model. Hand joint angles for each hand-posture and corresponding silhouette images from many viewpoints by projecting the model into image planes are used to construct the ?database. The proposed method does not require additional equations to define movement constraints of each joint. Also using the method, it is easy to get images of one hand-posture from many vi.ewpoints and distances. Hence it is possible to construct database more precisely and concretely. The validity of the method is evaluated by applying it to the hand-posture recognition system.

A vision-based 3D tracking of articulated human hand is one of the major issues in the applications of human computer interactions and understanding the control of robot hand. This paper presents an improved approach for tracking and recovering the 3D position and orientation of a human hand using the Kinect sensor. The basic idea of the proposed method is to solve an optimization problem that minimizes the discrepancy in 3D shape between an actual hand observed by Kinect and a hypothesized 3D hand model. Since each of the 3D hand pose has 23 degrees of freedom, the hand articulation tracking needs computational excessive burden in minimizing the 3D shape discrepancy between an observed hand and a 3D hand model. For this, we first created a 3D hand model which represents the hand with 17 different parts. Secondly, Random Forest classifier was trained on the synthetic depth images generated by animating the developed 3D hand model, which was then used for Haar-like feature-based classification rather than performing per-pixel classification. Classification results were used for estimating the joint positions for the hand skeleton. Through the experiment, we were able to prove that the proposed method showed improvement rates in hand part recognition and a performance of 20-30 fps. The results confirmed its practical use in classifying hand area and successfully tracked and recovered the 3D hand pose in a real time fashion.

손 표현 인식을 위해서는 손의 정적인 형태를 기반으로 하는 손 자세 인식과 손의 동적인 움직임을 기반으로 하는 손 동작 인식이 함께 사용된다. 이 논문에서는 손 표현 인식을 위해 손가락의 위치와 형태를 기반으로 하는 계층적 손 자세 모델을 제안한다. 손 자세 인식을 위해서는 오픈소스인 미디어파이프를 기반으로 하고, 손가락 상태를 나타내는 모델과 이를 통해 손 자세를 나타내는 모델을 계층적으로 구성하였다. 손가락 모델 역시 손가락 하나의 굽힘과 손가락 두 개의 닿음을 사용하여 계층적으로 구성하였다. 제안하는 모델은 손을 통해 정보를 전달하는 다양한 응용에 사용할 수 있으며, 수화에서의 숫자 인식에 적용하여 그 유용성을 검증하였다. 제안하는 모델은 수화 인식 이외에 컴퓨터의 사용자 인터페이스에서 다양한 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

The existing GOMS model overestimates the performance time of mouse activities because it describes them in a serial sequence. However, parallel movements of eye and hand(eye-hand coordination) have been dominant in mouse activities and this eye-hand coordination is the main factor for the overestimation of performance time. In this study, therefore, the revised CGOMSL model was developed to implement eye-hand coordination to the mouse activity to overcome one of the limitations of GOMS model, the lack of capability for parallel processing. The suggested revised CGOMSL model for drag activity, as an example for one of mouse activities in this study, begins visual search processing before a hand movement but ends the visual search processing with the hand movement in the same time. The results show that the revised CGOMSL model made the prediction of human performance more accurately than the existing GOMS model. In other words, one of the limitations of GOMS model, the incapability of parallel processing, could be overcome with the revised CGOMSL model so that the performance time should be more accurately predicted.

In this paper, we propose the feature points extraction method of hand region using vision. To do this, first, we find the HCbCr color model by using HSI and YCbCr color model. Second, we extract the hand region by using the HCbCr color model and the fuzzy color filter. Third, we extract the exact hand region by applying labeling algorithm to extracted hand region. Fourth, after finding the center of gravity of extracted hand region, we obtain the first feature points by using Canny edge, chain code, and DP method. And then, we obtain the feature points of hand region by applying the convex hull method to the extracted first feature points. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test hand hygiene behavior model of hospital nurses, based on theory of planned behavior. Methods: Data were collected from 253 nurses from four university hospitals for the period of December 2010 to January 2011. Data were analyzed using of SAS (ver.9.1). Fitness of the study model was identified with SAS PROC CALIS. Results: The overall fitness was $x^2$=57.81 (df=13, $p$ <.001), GFI=.99, AGFI=.99, CFI=.95, NFI=.93. The variance of actual implementation of hand hygiene by predictor variables was 11.0% and the variance of intention to hand hygiene was 53.5%. Variable that had a direct effect on hand hygiene behavior was intention. Perceived behavior control and attitude affected hand hygiene behavior indirectly. Control belief had a direct effect on perceived behavior control and had an indirect effect on intention and behavior. Behavioral belief had a direct effect on attitude and an indirect effect on intention and behavior. Conclusion: The study provides basic information for understanding nurses' hand hygiene behavior. Further testing of the model will indicate which variables can contribute to improved hand hygiene.

Dynamic hand gesture recognition(d-HGR) plays an important role in human-computer interaction(HCI) system. With the growth of hand-pose estimation as well as 3D depth sensors, depth, and the hand-skeleton dataset is proposed to bring much research in depth and 3D hand skeleton approaches. However, it is still a challenging problem due to the low resolution, higher complexity, and self-occlusion. In this paper, we propose a hand-shape feature extraction(HSFE) network to produce robust hand-shapes. We build a hand-shape model, and hand-skeleton based on LSTM to exploit the temporal information from hand-shape and motion changes. Fusion between two models brings the best accuracy in dynamic hand gesture (DHG) dataset.

본 논문에서는 비전 기반의 실시간 손 모양 인식을 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 피부색을 검출하기 위해 RGB 컬러모델을 YCbCr 컬러모델로 변환하고, 색차성분인 CbCr을 이용하여 피부색을 검출한다. 검출 후 피부색은 흰색, 그 이외의 색은 검은색으로 이진화 하였다. 이진화 후 팔 영역과 얼굴영역을 제거하고, 손 영역만 검출하여 손의 무게중심을 구하기 위해 가로, 세로로 프로젝션을 수행한다. 손의 무게중심을 찾은 후에 손의 궤적을 추적하기 위해 칼만필터를 이용하였다. 손의 궤적 추적 후에 손 모양을 인식시키기 위해 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)을 이용하여 6가지 손의 모양을 학습한 후 인식하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘의 효과를 입증하였다.

본 논문은 단안의 RGB 카메라를 이용하는 실시간 손 추적 방법을 제안한다. 손은 높은 degrees of freedom을 가지고 있기 때문에 손 추적은 높은 모호성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 제안하는 방법에서는 손 추적의 모호성을 줄이기 위해서 단계별 손 추적 전략을 채택하였다. 제안하는 방법의 추적 과정은 손바닥 포즈 추적, 손가락 yaw 움직임 추적, 그리고 손가락 pitch 움직임 추적, 세 단계로 구성되어 있으며, 각 단계는 순서대로 수행된다. 제안하는 방법은 손은 평면으로 간주할 수 있다고 가정하고, 평면 손 모델을 이용한다. 평면 손 모델은 손 모델을 현재의 사용자 손 모양에 맞춰서 변경하는 손 모델 재생성을 가능하게 하는데, 이는 제안하는 방법의 강건성과 정확도를 증가시킨다. 그리고 제안하는 방법은 실시간 연산이 가능하고 GPU 기반 연산을 요구하지 않기 때문에, Google Glass와 같은 모바일 장비를 포함한 다양한 환경에 적용가능하다. 본 논문은 다양한 실험을 통해서 제안하는 방법의 성능과 효용성을 입증한다.
