Recognition of head gestures using hidden Markov models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the use of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for the recognition of head gestures. A gesture corresponds to a particular pattern of head movement. The facial plane is tracked using a parameterized model and the temporal sequence of three image rotation parameters are used to describe four gestures. A dynamic vector quantization scheme was implemented to transform the parameters into suitable input data for the HMMs. Each model was trained by the iterative Baum-Welch procedure using 28 sequences taken from 5 persons. Experimental results from a diierent data set (33 new sequences from 6 other persons) demonstrate the eeectiveness of this approach.

High Performance Real - Time GestureRecognition Using Hidden Markov
An advanced real-time system for gesture recognition is presented , which is able to recognize complex dynamic gestures, such as "hand waving", "spin", "pointing", and "head moving". The recognition is based on global motion features, extracted from each diierence image of the image sequence. The system uses Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as statistical classiier. These HMMs are trained on a datab...
متن کاملRecognition of 3D-Pointing Gestures for Human-Robot-Interaction
We present a system capable of visually detecting pointing gestures performed by a person interacting with a robot. The 3Dtrajectories of the person’s head and hands are extracted from image sequences provided by a stereo camera. We use Hidden Markov Models trained on different phases of sample pointing gestures to detect the occurrence of pointing gestures. For the estimation of pointing direc...
متن کامل3D Hand Motion Evaluation Using HMM
Gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. The use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. In particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. In this work, we introduce a 3-...
