In this paper, a method of handshapes recognition based on skeletal data is described. A new feature vector is proposed. It encodes the relative differences between vectors associated with the pointing directions of the particular fingers and the palm normal. Different classifiers are tested on the demanding dataset, containing 48 handshapes performed 500 times by five users. Two different sensor configurations and significant variation in the hand rotation are considered. The late fusion at the decision level of individual models, as well as a comparative study carried out on a publicly available dataset, are also included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
