This paper is study on real-time hand gesture recognition system based on vision for intelligent robot control. We are proposed a recognition system using PCA and BP algorithm. Recognition of hand gestures consists of two steps which are preprocessing step using PCA algorithm and classification step using BP algorithm. The PCA algorithm is a technique used to reduce multidimensional data sets to lower dimensions for effective analysis. In our simulation, the PCA is applied to calculate feature projection vectors for the image of a given hand. The BP algorithm is capable of doing parallel distributed processing and expedite processing since it take parallel structure. The BP algorithm recognized in real time hand gestures by self learning of trained eigen hand gesture. The proposed PCA and BP algorithm show improvement on the recognition compared to PCA algorithm.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) evaluates the electrical activity generated by brain cell interactions that occur during brain activity, and an EEG can evaluate the brain activity caused by hand movement. In this study, a 16-channel EEG was used to measure the EEG generated before and after hand movement. The measured data can be classified as a supervised learning model, a support vector machine (SVM). To shorten the learning time of the SVM, a feature extraction and vector dimension reduction by filtering is proposed that minimizes motion-related information loss and compresses EEG information. The classification results showed an average of 72.7% accuracy between the sitting position and the hand movement at the electrodes of the frontal lobe.

This paper deals with a system that is capable of recognizing hand-signals in 3-dimensional space. The system uses 2 color cameras as input devices. Vision-based gesture recognition system is known to be user-friendly because of its contact-free characteristic. But as with other applications using a camera as an input device, there are difficulties under complex background and varying illumination. In order to detect hand region robustly from a input image under various conditions without any special gloves or markers, the paper uses previous position information and adaptive hand color model. The paper defines a hand-signal as a combination of two basic elements such as 'hand pose' and 'hand trajectory'. As an extensive classification method for hand pose, the paper proposes 2-stage classification method by using 'small group concept'. Also, the paper suggests a complementary feature selection method from images from two color cameras. We verified our method with a hand-signal application to our driving simulator.

Temporal Sign Language Recognition (TSLR) from hand motion is an active area of gesture recognition research in facilitating efficient communication with deaf people. TSLR systems consist of two stages: a motion sensing step which extracts useful features from signers' motion and a classification process which classifies these features as a performed sign. This work focuses on two of the research problems, namely unknown time varying signal of sign languages in feature extraction stage and computing complexity and time consumption in classification stage due to a very large sign sequences database. In this paper, we propose a combination of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and application of the Single hidden Layer Feedforward Neural networks (SLFNs) trained by Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to cope the limitations. DTW has several advantages over other approaches in that it can align the length of the time series data to a same prior size, while ELM is a useful technique for classifying these warped features. Our experiment demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method with the recognition accuracy up to 98.67%. The proposed approach can be generalized to more detailed measurements so as to recognize hand gestures, body motion and facial expression.

Hand region detection in images is an important process in many computer vision applications. It is a process that usually starts at a pixel-level, and that involves a pre-process of color space transformation followed by a classification process. A color space transformation is assumed to increase separability between skin classes for hands and non-skin classes for other parts, to increase similarity among different skin tones, and to bring a robust performance under varying illumination conditions, without any sound reasonings. In this work, we examine if the color space transformation does bring those benefits to the problem of hand region detection on a dataset of images with different hand postures, backgrounds, people, and illuminations. Results indicate that best of the color space is the normalized RGB.

Recognizing finger movements have been used as a intuitive way of human-computer interaction. In this study, we implement an wearable device for finger motion recognition and evaluate the accuracy of several ML (Machine learning) techniques. Not only HMM (Hidden markov model) and DTW (Dynamic time warping) techniques that have been traditionally used as time series data analysis, but also NN (Neural network) technique are applied to compare and analyze the accuracy of each technique. In order to minimize the computational requirement, we also apply the pre-processing to each ML techniques. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that the NN-based gesture recognition system achieves 99.1% recognition accuracy while the HMM and DTW achieve 96.6% and 95.9% recognition accuracy, respectively.

Recently, the spread of smart TV based Android iOS Set Top box has become common. This paper propose a new approach to control the TV using gestures away from the era of controlling the TV using remote control. In this paper, the AdaBoost algorithm is applied to gesture recognition by using a mono camera. First, we use Camshift-based Body tracking and estimation algorithm based on Gaussian background removal for body coordinate extraction. Using global and local feature vectors, we recognized gestures with speed change. By tracking the time interval trajectories of hand and wrist, the AdaBoost algorithm with CART algorithm is used to train and classify gestures. The principal component feature vector with high classification success rate is searched using CART algorithm. As a result, 24 optimal feature vectors were found, which showed lower error rate (3.73%) and higher accuracy rate (95.17%) than the existing algorithm.

As Ubiquitous era comes, it became necessary to construct environment which can provide more useful information to human in the spaces where people live like homes or offices. On this account, network of the peripheral devices of Ubiquitous should constitute efficiently. For it, this paper researched human pattern by classified motion recognition using sensors module data. (This data processing by Neural network and fuzzy algorithm.) This pattern classification can help control home network system communication. I suggest the system which can control home network system more easily through patterned movement, and control Ubiquitous environment by grasp human's movement and condition.

최근 RFID와 같은 무선 센싱 네트워크 기술과 객체 추적을 위한 센싱 디바이스 및 다양한 컴퓨팅 자원들이 빠르게 발전함에 따라, 기존 웹의 형태는 소셜 웹에서 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 웹으로 자연스럽게 진화되고 있다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 웹에서 사물인터넷(IoT)은 기존의 컴퓨터를 대체할 수 있는데, 이것은 곧 한 사람과 주변 사물들 간에 연결되는 네트워크가 확장되는 것과 동시에 네트워크 안에서 생성되는 데이터의 수가 기하급수적으로 증가되는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 보다 지능적인 IoT 서비스를 위해서는, 수많은 미가공 데이터들 사이에서 사람의 의도와 상황을 실시간으로 정확히 파악할 수 있어야 한다. 이때 사물과의 상호작용을 위한 동작 인식 기술(Gesture recognition)은 집적적인 접촉을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에, 미래의 사람-사물 간 상호작용에 응용될 수 있는 잠재력을 갖고 있다. 한편, 기계학습 분야의 최신 알고리즘들은 다양한 문제에서 사람의 인지능력을 종종 뛰어넘는 성능을 보이고 있는데, 그 중에서도 의사결정나무(Decision Tree)를 기반으로 한 Decision Forest는 분류(Classification)와 회귀(Regression)를 포함한 전 영역에 걸쳐 우월한 성능을 보이고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지능형 IoT 서비스를 위한 다양한 동작 인식 기술들을 알아보고, 동작 인식을 위한 Decision Forest의 기본 개념과 구현을 위한 학습, 테스팅에 대해 구체적으로 소개한다. 특히 대표적으로 사용되는 3가지 학습방법인 배깅(Bagging), 부스팅(Boosting) 그리고 Random Forest에 대해 소개하고, 이것들이 동작 인식을 위해 어떠한 특징을 갖는지 기존의 연구결과를 토대로 알아보았다.
