Contour-based Hand Pose Recognition for Sign Language Recognition
Mika Hatano, Shinji Sako, Tadashi Kitamura · 2015
We are developing a real-time Japanese sign language recognition system that employs abstract hand motions based on three elements familiar to sign language: hand motion, position, and pose.This study considers the method of hand pose recognition using depth images obtained from the Kinect v2 sensor.We apply the contour-based method proposed by Keogh to hand pose recognition.This method recognizes a contour by means of discriminators generated from contours.We conducted experiments on recognizing 23 hand poses from 400 Japanese sign language words.
