چکیده
Human-Machine interfaces play a role of growing importance as computer technology continues to evolve. Motivated by the desire to provide users with an intuitive gesture input system, our work presented in this paper describes a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based framework for hand gesture detection and recognition. The gesture is modeled as a hidden Markov model. The observation sequence used to characterize the states of the HMM are obtained from the features extracted from the segmented hand image by Vector Quantization. In the recognition system, we try several different HMM models and training algorithms to find the algorithms with high recognition rate and low computational complexity.

A Hidden Markov Model-Based Isolated and Meaningful Hand Gesture Recognition
Gesture recognition is a challenging task for extracting meaningful gesture from continuous hand motion. In this paper, we propose an automatic system that recognizes isolated gesture, in addition meaningful gesture from continuous hand motion for Arabic numbers from 0 to 9 in real-time based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM). In order to handle isolated gesture, HMM using Ergodic, Left-Right (LR) ...

In this paper a new and general stochastic approach to find and identify dynamic gestures in continuous video streams is presented. Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are used to solve this combined problem of temporal segmentation and classification in an integral way. Basically, an improved normalized Viterbi algorithm allows to continuously observe the output scores of the HMMs at every time step. ...
متن کاملHand Gesture Recognition in Image Sequences Using Active Contours and HMMs
The created vision system captures image sequences from the digital camera and it first detects static hand poses in every single frame due to a doubleactive contour classification. The tracking of the hand pose in a short sequence allows to detect ”modified poses”, like diacritic letters of polish alphabet. Finally, by tracking hand poses in a longer image sequence, this pose sequence ic class...
متن کاملOn Hand Gestures Recognition Using Hidden Markov Models
In this paper several results concerning static hand gesture recognition using an algorithm based on left-right Hidden Markov Models (HMM) are presented. The features used as observables in the training as well as in the recognition phases are based either on the 2D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) or on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The left-right topology of the HMM together with the...
