متن کاملHand Gestures Classification with Multi-Core DTW
Classifications of several gesture types are very helpful in several applications. This paper tries to address fast classifications of hand gestures using DTW over multi-core simple processors. We presented a methodology to distribute templates over multi-cores and then allow parallel execution of the classification. The results were presented to voting algorithm in which the majority vote was ...
متن کاملRecognizing Hand Gestures
This paper presents a method for recognizing human-hand gestures using a model-based approach. A Finite State Machine is used to model four qualitatively distinct phases of a generic gesture. Fingertips are tracked in multiple frames to compute motion trajectories, which are then used for nding the start and stop position of the gesture. Gestures are represented as a list of vectors and are the...
