Gesture recognition using the Perseus architecture

Real-time Gesture Recognition with the Perseus System

Interpersonal communication involves more than simply spoken information. Gestures are commonly used to more e ciently and precisely communicate. An important gesture because of its descriptive power and frequency of use is pointing. To produce a more natural and powerful human-robot interface, we have developed a purposive visual architecture called Perseus and have used it to locate objects a...

Happy Patrons Make Better Tippers: Creating a Robot Waiter Using Perseus and the Animate Agent Architecture

As autonomous robots become increasingly adept at performing simple tasks like moving from place to place and picking up and delivering objects, it is becoming apparent that an important area of robotic research is that of developing natural interfaces for controlling them. In the context of building a robot “waiter”, we demonstrate the use of the Perseus architecture for gesture recognition, t...

Hand Gesture Recognition from RGB-D Data using 2D and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks: a comparative study

Despite considerable enhances in recognizing hand gestures from still images, there are still many challenges in the classification of hand gestures in videos. The latter comes with more challenges, including higher computational complexity and arduous task of representing temporal features. Hand movement dynamics, represented by temporal features, have to be extracted by analyzing the total fr...

Gesture Recognition Using the Linear Combination of Membership Degrees of Observations

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
