Hand Gesture Recognition Based on Perceptual Shape Decomposition with a Kinect Camera
Chun Wang, Zhongyuan Lai, Hongyuan Wang · IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems · 2013
In this paper, we propose the Perceptual Shape Decomposition (PSD) to detect fingers for a Kinect-based hand gesture recognition system. The PSD is formulated as a discrete optimization problem by removing all negative minima with minimum cost. Experiments show that our PSD is perceptually relevant and robust against distortion and hand variations, and thus improves the recognition system performance.
