Description
Summary:Dynamic hand gesture recognition enables people to communicate with computers naturally without any mechanical devices. Due to the spread of depth sensor such as Microsoft Kinect and Leap Motion, dynamic hand gesture recognition becomes possible for recognizing meticulous gesture information in real time. However, most of these methods recognize the hand gesture by fuzzy features such as contour size, which cause imprecise hand gesture recognition. This paper presents a precise tracing of feature points including palm center, fingertips and joints by using Kinect. A novel recognition method based on precise motion features of these feature points is also presented. Having been tested with a series of applications, our method is proved to be robust and effective, and suitable for further application in real-time HCI systems.
