Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hand gesture has been part of human communication, where, young children usually communicate by using gesture before they can talk. Adults may have also gesture if they need to or they are indeed mute or deaf. Thus the idea of teaching a machine to also learn gesture is very appealing due to its unique mode of communications. A reliable hand gesture recognition system will make the remote control become obsolete. However, ,any of the a new techniques proposed are complicated to be implemented in real time, especially as a human machine interface. This thesis focuses on recognizing hand gesture in static posture. Since static hand postures not only can express some concepts, but also can act as special transition states in temporal gestures recognition, thus estimating static hand postures is in fact a big topics in gesture recognition. A database consists of 200 gesture images have been built, where five volunteers had help in the making of the database. The images were captured in a controlled enviroment and the postures are free from occulation where the background is uncluttered and the hand is assumed to have been localized. A system was then built to recognize the hand gesture. The captured image will be first preprocessed in order to binarize the palm region, where Sobel edge detection technique has been employed, with later followed by morphological operation. A new feature extraction technique has been developed, based on horizontal and vertical states transition count, and the ration of hand area with the respect to whole area of image. These set of features have been proven to have high intra class dissimilarity attributes. In order to have a system that can be easily trained, artificial neural networks has been chosen in the classification stage. A multilayer perceptron with back-propagation algorithm has been developed, thus the system is actually in-built to be used as a human machine interface. The gesture recognition system has been built and tested in Matlab. Where simulations have shown promising results. The performance of recognition rate in this research is 95% which shows a major improvement in comparison to the available methods.

Book excerpt: Gestural interfaces have the potential of enhancing control operations in numerous applications. For Air Force systems, machine-recognition of whole-hand gestures may be useful as an alternative controller, especially when conventional controls are less accessible. The objective of this effort was to explore the utility of a neural network-based approach to the recognition of whole-hand gestures. Using a fiber-optic instrumented glove, gesture data were collected for a set of static gestures drawn from the manual alphabet used by the deaf. Two types of neural networks (multilayer perceptron and Kohonen self-organizing feature map) were explored. Both showed promise, but the perceptron model was quicker to implement and classification is inherent in the model. The high gesture recognition rates and quick network retraining times found in the present study suggest that a neural network approach to gesture recognition be further evaluated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the rise of new applications in electronic appliances and pervasive devices, automated hand gesture recognition (HGR) has become an area of increasing interest. HGR developments have come a long way from the traditional sign language recognition (SLR) systems to depth and wearable sensor-based electronic devices. Where the former are more laboratory-oriented frameworks, the latter are comparatively realistic and practical systems. Based on various gestural traits, such as hand postures, gesture recognition takes different forms. Consequently, different interpretations can be associated with gestures in various application contexts. A considerable amount of research is still needed to introduce more practical gesture recognition systems and associated algorithms. Challenges and Applications for Hand Gesture Recognition highlights the state-of-the-art practices of HGR research and discusses key areas such as challenges, opportunities, and future directions. Covering a range of topics such as wearable sensors and hand kinematics, this critical reference source is ideal for researchers, academicians, scholars, industry professionals, engineers, instructors, and students.

Download or read book Robust Hand Gesture Recognition for Robotic Hand Control written by Ankit Chaudhary and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on light invariant bare hand gesture recognition while there is no restriction on the types of gestures. Observations and results have confirmed that this research work can be used to remotely control a robotic hand using hand gestures. The system developed here is also able to recognize hand gestures in different lighting conditions. The pre-processing is performed by developing an image-cropping algorithm that ensures only the area of interest is included in the segmented image. The segmented image is compared with a predefined gesture set which must be installed in the recognition system. These images are stored and feature vectors are extracted from them. These feature vectors are subsequently presented using an orientation histogram, which provides a view of the edges in the form of frequency. Thereby, if the same gesture is shown twice in different lighting intensities, both repetitions will map to the same gesture in the stored data. The mapping of the segmented image's orientation histogram is firstly done using the Euclidian distance method. Secondly, the supervised neural network is trained for the same, producing better recognition results. An approach to controlling electro-mechanical robotic hands using dynamic hand gestures is also presented using a robot simulator. Such robotic hands have applications in commercial, military or emergency operations where human life cannot be risked. For such applications, an artificial robotic hand is required to perform real-time operations. This robotic hand should be able to move its fingers in the same manner as a human hand. For this purpose, hand geometry parameters are obtained using a webcam and also using KINECT. The parameter detection is direction invariant in both methods. Once the hand parameters are obtained, the fingers’ angle information is obtained by performing a geometrical analysis. An artificial neural network is also implemented to calculate the angles. These two methods can be used with only one hand, either right or left. A separate method that is applicable to both hands simultaneously is also developed and fingers angles are calculated. The contents of this book will be useful for researchers and professional engineers working on robotic arm/hand systems.

Book excerpt: Gestures communication between dumbs and other people using the expression of signs language an algorithm for recognizing hand gestures of (letters or numbers or words) to by using dumb (through signs) and convert the sings into voice corresponding to sings.Gestures are one of the best ways of communication between dumbs and other people using the expression of signs language. In this book, we suggest an algorithm for recognizing hand gestures of Arabic (letters or numbers or words) to by using dumb (through signs) and convert the sings into voice corresponding to sings (letters or numbers or words). The proposed algorithm use video for the gesture of the dumb then convert the video into frames ( images), preprocessing for the resulted image must be done by removing the noise, resize the images and increase the contrast, then calculate the distance to clustering the words by using (C4.5, k-mean, k- medoid and artificial neural network), calculate the distance ( or features) by using Euclidean distance and slope where, there are eighteen features (eight features from Euclidean distance, eight features from slop, Area, and perimeter). The results in the training stage were (C4.5 gave 99.8664%, k-mean gave 97.7930%, k-medoid gave 97.3620%and ANN gave 96.538% ). While in the testing stage we used three classifiers (Euclidian Distance, Modify of the Standardize Euclidian Distance and Correlation) and the results show that (Euclidian Distance gave 94.7368%, Modify of the Standardize Euclidian Distance gave 98.2456% and Correlation gave 96.4912%) We create our database (ten videos with 814 frames.
