We present a method coupling multiple switching linear models. The coupled switching linear model is an interactive process of two switching linear models. Coupling is given through causal influence between their hidden discrete states. The parameters of this model are learned via the EM algorithm. Tracking is performed through the coupled-forward algorithm based on Kalman filtering and a collapsing method. A model with maximum likelihood is selected out of a few learned models during tracking. We demonstrate the application of the proposed model to tracking and recognizing two-hand gestures.
