Hand gesture recognition system using multiple cameras

Abstract
We describe a method to detect hand position, posture and finger bendings using multiple camera images. Stable detection can be achieved by using skeleton images, and this is confirmed through experiments. This system can be used as a user interface device in a virtual environment, replacing glove-type devices and overcoming most of the disadvantages of contact-type devices. Future work includes verification of the method's availability as a gesture-based man-machine interface system.
