Comprehensive Review of various Hand Detection Approaches

Abstract

Hand detection is the foremost step that is utilized for achieving hand related applications such as hand gesture recognition for human-machine interface, virtual gaming, hand- controllable screens and interfaces, for security purposes to keep eye on the suspicious activities, in sports, in pose estimation, for robotic applications (human-robot interaction) and many more. Thus, this means that effective hand detection is necessary as the accuracy of further tasks to be applied directly depend on the precise detection of hands. So, the results are directly depended upon the efficient detection of hands. This paper includes the review on various hand detection techniques carried out in literature and gives their comparative analysis.
