Ensemble to improve gesture recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic hand gesture recognition plays a fundamental role in current research with the aim of empowering a natural communication between users and virtual reality systems. Starting from an existing work, based on the extraction of two different descriptors from the depth maps followed by their classification with a stand-alone multi SVM classifier, in this paper we improve the gesture recognition system performances and reliability and we evaluate different classification approaches. To this purpose, we first compare the performance of different descriptors and analyze their correlation for assessing their complementarity, and then we demonstrate the advantage gained by their fusion by the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. In particular, the novelties of this paper are a new method for extracting features from the curvature image and the design of a very effective ensemble of classifiers to solve the problem.

Integration of flutist gesture recognition and beat tracking for human-robot ensemble
A novel human-robot trio-ensemble system with a human flutist, a human drummer and a robot-thereminist is presented. The participants of the ensemble play music in a score-based way and simultaneously, which has only been achieved independently. In our ensemble, both auditory and visual cues are used to synchronize the participants’ performances. The ensemble begins with the flutist’s start ges...
متن کاملActive Learning of Ensemble Classifiers for Gesture Recognition
In this study we consider the classification of emblematic gestures based on ensemble methods. In contrast to HMM-based approaches processing a gesture as a whole, we classify trajectory segments comprising a fixed number of sampling points. We propose a multi-view approach in order to increase the diversity of the classifiers across the ensemble by applying different methods for data normalisa...
متن کاملHuman 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...
متن کاملGesture Recognition using Neural Networks
A gesture recognition method for body gestures is presented. Image recognition is accomplished by using a color tracking algorithm. Results of the image recognition process are then sent through a feedforward neural network and trained using a backpropagation algorithm. Training is done over an ensemble using different randomized initial weights to reduce local minima error. Results of testing ...
