Hand Gesture Recognition

摘要

Hand gesture recognition (HGR) is a natural kind of human-machine interaction that has been used in a variety of settings. In this chapter, the authors address work in the field of HGR applications in industrial robots, with an emphasis on processing stages and approaches in gesture-based human-robot interaction (HRI), which may be beneficial to other researchers. They examine several similar research in the field of HGR that use a variety of techniques, including sensor-based and vision-based approaches. They discovered that the 3D vision-based HGR technique is a hard but interesting study field after comparing the two methodologies. Hand gesture recognition has a major application for disabled peoples. The person who is not able to speak can use these kinds of systems to control the devices or various applications in his/her machine. This technology also has vast potential in the gaming industry. The gaming industry has already adapted this technique.
