Abstract

We present a development of a gesture-based interface for the elderly and people with mobility impairment in a smart house environment. To reduce a burden of memorizing a variety of gesture commands, we introduce baby signs which are natural and easy-to-remember body signs without special education. The baby signs can be applied not only to communicate with others but also to interact with a computer for people with low level of proficiency in conventional peripherals. To achieve this purpose, we have attempted to create a real application working under illumination change and real-time requirement. The system observes the user's sign by a monitor-mounted camera and color gloves. Introducing a robust hand segmentation method against illumination change and adopting HMMs, our initial result shows 94.33% success rate for 6 sign words.

Recognition-based gesture spotting in video games

In vision-based interfaces for video games, gestures are used as commands for the games instead of pressing buttons on a keyboard or moving a mouse. In these interfaces, unintentional movements and continuous gestures must be supported to provide the ...

MobileHCI '11: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services

This paper introduces a novel gesture-based human-machine interface prototype, which consists of a wearable belt embedding with four surface electromyography (SEMG) sensors, a tri-axis accelerometer and an application program running on NOKIA 5800XM. ...
Centroid tracking based dynamic hand gesture recognition using discrete Hidden Markov Models

In many dynamic hand gesture recognition contexts, time information is not adequately used. The extracted features of dynamic gestures usually do not carry explicit information about time in gesture classification. This results in under-utilized data ...
