There is a necessity for the communication between intelligent robots and human beings because of wide spread use of them. Gesture recognition is currently being studied in regards to better conversing. On the basis of previous research, however, the gesture recognition algorithms appear to require not only complicated algorisms but also separate training process for high recognition rates. This study suggests a gesture recognition algorithm based on computer vision system, which is relatively simple and more efficient in recognizing various human gestures. After tracing the hand gesture using a marker, direction changes of the gesture trajectory were analyzed to determine the simple gesture code that has minimal information to recognize. A map is developed to recognize the gestures that can be expressed with different gesture codes. Through the use of numerical and geometrical trajectory, the advantages and disadvantages of the suggested algorithm was determined.

In this paper, we propose an automatic system that recognizes dynamic human gestures activity, including Arabic numbers from 0 to 9. We assume the gesture trajectory is almost in a plane that called principal gesture plane, then the Least Squares Method is used to estimate the plane and project the 3-D trajectory model onto the principal. An improved FNN model combined with HMM is proposed for dynamic gesture recognition, which combines ability of HMM model for temporal data modeling with that of fuzzy neural network. The proposed algorithm shows that satisfactory performance and high recognition rate.

This paper presents a measurement system for 3D hand-drawn gesture motion. Many pen-type input devices with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) have been developed to estimate 3D hand-drawn gesture using the measured acceleration and/or the angular velocity of the device. The crucial procedure in developing these devices is to measure and to analyze their motion or trajectory. In order to verify the trajectory estimated by an IMU-based input device, it is necessary to compare the estimated trajectory to the real trajectory. For measuring the real trajectory of the pen-type device, a PHANToMTM haptic device is utilized because it allows us to measure the 3D motion of the object in real-time. Even though the PHANToMTM measures the position of the hand gesture well, poor initialization may produce a large amount of error. Therefore, this paper proposes a calibration method which can minimize measurement errors.

The present paper proposes a novel dynamic system for hand gesture recognition. The approach involved is comprised of three main steps: detection, tracking and recognition. First, the gesture contour captured by a 2D-camera is detected by combining the three-frame difference method and skin-color elliptic boundary model. Then, the trajectory of the hand gesture is extracted via a gesture-tracking algorithm based on an occlusion-direction oriented linear extrapolation predictor, where the gesture coordinate in next frame is predicted by the judgment of current occlusion direction. Finally, to overcome the interference of insignificant trajectory segments, the longest common subsequence (LCS) is employed with the aid of velocity information. Besides, to tackle the subgesture problem, i.e., some gestures may also be a part of others, the most probable gesture category is identified through comparison of the relative LCS length of each gesture, i.e., the proportion between the LCS length and the total length of each template, rather than the length of LCS for each gesture. The gesture dataset for system performance test contains digits ranged from 0 to 9, and experimental results demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

본 논문에서는 키넥트 센서를 이용한 AdaBoost 기반 제스처 인식에 관한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 최근 스마트 TV에 대한 보급으로 관련 산업이 주목받고 있다. 기존 리모컨을 이용하여 TV를 컨트롤 하던 시대에서 벗어나 제스처를 이용하여 TV를 컨트롤 할 수 있는 새로운 접근을 제안한다. AdaBoost 학습 모델에 신체 정규화 된 시간 간격 특징 벡터의 집합을 특징 패턴으로 하여, 속도가 다른 동작들을 인식할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 속도가 다른 다양한 제스처를 인식하기 위해 다중 AdaBoost 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 실제 동영상 플레이어와 연결하여 적용하였고, 실험 후 좌표 변화를 이용한 알고리즘에 비해 정확도가 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

최근 들어 인간의 의지를 컴퓨터에 전달하기 위한 수단으로 컴퓨터 시각기반 방식으로 제스처를 인식하고자 하는 연구가 널리 진행되고 있다. 제스처 인식에서 가장 중요한 이슈는 알고리즘의 단순화와 처리 시간의 감소이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 기하학적 집합론에 근거하고 있는 수학적 형태론을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 키 아이디어는 형태론적 형상분해를 적용하여 얻은 원시형상 요소들의 중심점을 연결하는 궤적을 추적하는 것이다. 핸드 제스처 시퀀스의 중심점 궤적은 핸드 제스처의 형상에 관련된 중요한 정보를 내포하고 있다. 이러한 특징에 근거하여 본 연구에서는 원시형상 요소들의 중심점 궤적과 직접적으로 관련되는 체인코드 에지벡터로부터 형상의 특징벡터를 계산하여 핸드 제스처 시퀀스를 인식할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하고, 실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 증명하였다.

본 논문에서는 원격 작업 환경에서 명령자의 제스처를 자동으로 인식하기 위하여 글로브 센서 기반의 인식 기법을 이용한 3차원 제스처 인식 시스템을 구현하였다. 인식 시스템은 PinchGlove에 부착하여 사용되는 Polhemus 센서로부터 획득한 손 궤적의 3차원 위치 좌표열을 입력으로 사용한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제스처 인식을 위해 제스처를 구성하는 스트로크를 기본 인식 단위로 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 각 스트로크는 이산 HMM으로 모델링 되며 이들 HMM을 연결하여 생성된 결합 HMM으로 원격 작업에 사용될 각 제스처들을 모델링 한다. 이 방법은 새로이 정의되는 제스처에 대해 추가의 학습 과정을 필요로 하지 않아 인식 시스템의 확장성을 높일 수 있다. 16개의 제스처를 사용한 인식 실험에서 스트로크 기반의 결합 HMM은 제스처를 기본 단위로 사용한 HMM에 비해 더 좋은 인식 성능을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

In recent years, research about Natural User Interface (NUI) has become focused because NUI system can give natural feelings for users in virtual reality. Most important thing in NUI system is how to communicate with the computer system. There are many things to interact with users such as speech, hand gestures, body actions. Among them, hand gesture is suitable for the purpose of NUI because people often use a relatively high frequency in daily life and hand gesture have meaning only by itself. This hand gestures called multi-cultural hand gesture and we proposed the method to recognize this kind of hand gestures. Proposed method is composed of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) used for hand shape recognition and Histogram of Oriented Displacements (HOD) used for hand center point trajectory recognition.

Researches on the gesture recognition have become a very interesting topic in the computer vision area, Gesture recognition from visual images has a number of potential applicationssuch as HCI (Human Computer Interaction), VR(Virtual Reality), machine vision. To overcome thetechnical barriers in visual processing, conventional approaches have employed cumbersome devicessuch as datagloves or color marked gloves. In this research, we capture gesture images without usingexternal devices and generate a gesture trajectery composed of point-tokens. The trajectory Is spottedusing phase-based velocity constraints and recognized using the discrete left-right HMM. Inputvectors to the HMM are obtained by using the LBG clustering algorithm on a polar-coordinate spacewhere point-tokens on the Cartesian space .are converted. A gesture vocabulary is composed oftwenty-two dynamic hand gestures for editing drawing elements. In our experiment, one hundred dataper gesture are collected from twenty persons, Fifty data are used for training and another fifty datafor recognition experiment. The recognition result shows about 95% recognition rate and also thepossibility that these results can be applied to several potential systems operated by gestures. Thedeveloped system is running in real time for editing basic graphic primitives in the hardwareenvironments of a Pentium-pro (200 MHz), a Matrox Meteor graphic board and a CCD camera, anda Window95 and Visual C++ software environment.

Stroke-based composite HMMs with articulation states are proposed to deal with 3D spatio-temporal trajectory gestures. The direct use of 3D data provides more naturalness in generating gestures, thereby avoiding some of the constraints usually imposed to prevent performance degradation when trajectory data are projected into a specific 2D plane. Also, the decomposition of gestures into more primitive strokes is quite attractive, since reversely concatenating stroke-based HMMs makes it possible to construct a new set of gesture HMMs without retraining their parameters. Any deterioration in performance arising from decomposition can be remedied by a partial tuning process for such composite HMMs.
