Hand Detection and Segmentation Schemes for Trajectory guided Gesture Recognition

Abstract

One interesting field of research that has gained much attention in recent times is Gesture Recognition. In the context of human-computer non-verbal communication, the visual interface becomes important in establishing communication via understanding human intention from their behaviour, such as facial expressions, hand gestures, etc. With the increasing interest in human-computer interaction (HCI), there has been rapid growth in studies related to visionbased newlinegesture recognition in recent years. Hand gesture recognition from visual images finds newlineapplications in areas like human-computer interaction, machine vision, sign language, virtual reality, augmented reality, and so on.
