This paper proposes an accelerometer-based gesture recognition algorithm. As a pre-process procedure, raw data output by accelerometer should be quantized, and then use discrete Hidden Markov Model to train and recognize them. Based upon this recognition algorithm, we treat gesture as a method of human-computer interaction and use it in 3D interaction subsystem in VR system named VDOM by follow...

In view of the problem that the accuracy and robustness of hand gesture recognition technology based on vision in the process of using gestures to interact with robots were unstable due to its background, illumination and other factors, this paper presented a gesture segmentation and recognition method Combining depth information and color images. First, it used Kinect sensor to obtain depth in...

Gesture (Ges-ture) means a movement of part of body. Gesture Recognition is the technology that recognize the movement of body. It recognize hand, arms, head or any part of the body. So the goal of Gesture Recognition is to provide interface of human body with computer via mathematical algorithm. This paper gives a real time vision based method for recognizing human body motion using MATLAB. It...

As sensor technology has become more advanced, research projects exploring new ways in human-computer interaction have been enabled. Especially, after the Kinect released, study of gesture recognition for human-computer interaction using Kinect has become popular. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is one of the template matching algorithm used in the field of gesture recognition. By selecting the most...

Between October 2000 and December 2000 we collected a database of over 40,000 facial images of 68 people. Using the CMU 3D Room we imaged each person across 13 different poses, under 43 different illumination conditions, and with 4 different expressions. We call this database the CMU Pose, Illumination, and Expression (PIE) database. In this paper we describe the imaging hardware, the collectio...

Textile controls so far, have mostly been envisioned to be integrated to clothing. In our environment, however, much more textile interaction surfaces are available. In this paper, we present a capacitive textile sensor, seamlessly integrated into a motorized curtain. While the basic functionality is simply to open and close the curtain, its design allows a much richer gestural interaction.

This paper presents a new design and evaluation of customizable gesture commands on pen-based devices. Our objective is to help users during the definition of gestures by detecting confusion among gestures. We also help the memorization gestures with the guide of a new type of menu “Customizable Gesture Menus”. These menus are associated with an evolving gesture recognition engine that learns i...

Technology has evolved in such a way that a deeper knowledge about its use provides an incredible flexibility to professionals and citizens, indicating the importance of developing these concepts in basic education. CodeMime is a playful game that uses a gestural interface to attract kids and teenagers to learn computational concepts. Our proposal consists in demonstrating the game and how we a...
