Gesture recognition pertains to recognizing meaningful expressions of motion by a human, involving the hands, arms, face, head, and/or body.It is of utmost importance in designing an intelligent and efficient human-computer interface.The applications of gesture recognition are manifold, ranging from sign language through medical rehabilitation to virtual reality.In this paper, we provide a survey on gesture recognition with particular emphasis on hand gestures and facial expressions.Applications involving wavelet transform and principal component analysis for face and hand gesture recognition on digital images.
