The use of hand gesture provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help achieve easy and natural comprehension for HCI. Many methods for hand gesture recognition using visual analysis have been proposed such as syntactical analysis, neural network (NN), and hidden Markov model...

The main characteristics of human hand gesture can be summarized by its dynamic, multi-attribute property. Previous research for gesture pattern interpretation have shown the possibility for the recognition of local aspects of hand gesture. But global framework for finding the whole interpretation from the local aspects has yet to be provided. In this article, we proposed a two-level approach u...

Gesture Recognition means identification and recognition of gestures originated from any type of bodily motion commonly originated from face or hand. It is a technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms; also referred as perceptual user interface (PUI). Gesture recognition enables humans to interact with the machine (HMI) naturally without any physical con...

With the advent of various video game consoles and tablet devices gesture recognition got quite popular to control computer systems. E.g. touch screens allow for an intuitive control of small 2d user interfaces with finger gestures. For interactive manipulation of 3d objects in a large 3d projection environment a similar intuitive 3d interaction method is required. In this paper, we present a d...

One very interesting field of research in Pattern Recognition that has gained much attention in recent times is Gesture Recognition. In this paper, we consider a form of dynamic hand gestures that are characterized by total movement of the hand (arm) in space. For these types of gestures, the shape of the hand (palm) during gesturing does not bear any significance. In our work, we propose a mod...
