Abstract

Vision-based hand gesture recognition enabling computers to understand hand gestures as humans do is an important technology for intelligent human computer interaction. In this paper, a recognition system for dynamic hand gestures is proposed. In dynamic hand gesture recognition, hand is segmented by using background subtraction method. MPEG-7 ART based shape descriptors are used to extract spatial information. Our approach is based on particle filter to extract trajectory features. After collecting suitable features, Radial Basis Function neural network is used for classification. Gesture recognition rate is in the range of 80% to 98%.
