Hand posture recognition for human-robot interaction

摘要

In this paper, we describe a fast and accurate method for hand posture recognition in video sequences using multiple video cameras. The technique we propose is based on the head detection, skin detection and human body proportions in order to recognize commands from real-time video sequences. Our technique is also a robust one in order to deal with changes of lighting. The experimental results show that it can be used in various vision-based applications that require real-time detection and recognition of hand posture.
