Abstract—Sign language recognition is an attractive research field with a wide range of applications including telesurgery techniques. Another important application of hand gesture recognition is the translation of sign language, which is a complicated structured form of hand gestures. In sign language, the fingers’ configuration, the hand’s orientation, and the hand’s relative position to the body are the basis of structured expressions. The importance of hand gesture recognition has increased due to the prevalence of touchless applications and the rapid growth of the hearing-impaired population. However, developing an efficient recognition system needs to overcome the challenges of hand segmentation, local hand shape representation, global body configuration representation, and gesture sequence modeling. In this paper, a novel system is proposed for dynamic hand gesture recognition using multiple deep learning architectures for hand segmentation, local and global feature representations, and sequence feature globalization and recognition. The proposed system is evaluated on a very challenging dataset, which consists of dynamic hand gestures performed by subjects in an uncontrolled environment. The results show that the proposed system outperforms state-of- the-art approaches, demonstrating its effectiveness.
Nowadays, Delay Tolerant Network plays an important role in improving the communication between the network nodes. Applications of Delay Tolerant Network are disaster recovery, vehicular communication, sensor networks, interplanetary networks, and communication in remote and rural areas. Routing is one of the important tasks for enhancing the energy effectiveness of data transmission among the mobile nodes under network congestion and dynamic topology. Machine Learning-based routing algorithms are used for improving network communication in Delay Tolerant Networks. Its objective is to reduce the delay, minimize the overhead, reduce energy consumption, improve throughput, minimize packet loss, and efficient data transmission. This paper presents a comprehensive review of routing algorithms using machine learning for Delay Tolerant Networks.
