Learning to Detect Pointing Gestures From Wearable IMUs
Denis Broggini, Boris Gromov, Alessandro Giusti, Luca Maria Gambardella · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2018
We propose a learning-based system for detecting when a user performs a pointing gesture, using data acquired from IMU sensors, by means of a 1D convolutional neural network. We quantitatively evaluate the resulting detection accuracy, and discuss an application to a human-robot interaction task where pointing gestures are used to guide a quadrotor landing.
