چکیده
An efficient method for utilising a 2D camera to recognise hand gestures in 3D space is described. The work is presented within the context of a recuperation aid for younger children with impaired movement of the upper limbs on a standard Android tablet device. The hand movement recognition is achieved through attaching brightly coloured models to the child’s fingers, providing easily trackable elements of the image. The application promotes repeated use of specific hand skills identified by the medical profession to stimulate and assess rehabilitation of patients with impaired upper limb dexterity.

متن کاملHand 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...
متن کاملThe Effect of Simultaneous Superficial and Proprioceptive Stimulations on Dexterity of Educable 6-7 Years Old Children with Down Syndrome
Objectives: Down syndrome is the most common chrosomal disorder in which the fine and gross motor skills due to lack of proper sensory experience are disturbed. The role of dexterity in activity of daily living, interaction with environment and independency is quiet crucial in Down syndrome. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of simultaneous application of superfici...
متن کاملQuantative Evaluation of the Efficiency of Facial Bio-potential Signals Based on Forehead Three-Channel Electrode Placement For Facial Gesture Recognition Applicable in a Human-Machine Interface
Introduction: Today, facial bio-potential signals are employed in many human-machine interface applications for enhancing and empowering the rehabilitation process. The main point to achieve that goal is to record appropriate bioelectric signals from the human face by placing and configuring electrodes over it in the right way. In this paper, heuristic geometrical position and configuration of ...
متن کاملPredictive Value of Somatosensation for Manual Dexterity and Upper Limb Motor Function in Stroke Survivors
Objectives: One of the most disabling impairments following stroke is upper limb impairment. Despite the important role of somatosensory function in motor control and high prevalence of somatosensory deficits in stroke survivors, little attention has been paid to its effect on UE motor function in chronic stroke survivors. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the correlation between differ...
