Abstract
In this paper, we have presented a new approach to recognize hand signs. In our approach, motion understanding (the hand movement) is tightly coupled with spatial recognition (hand shape). The system uses the multiclass, multidimensional discriminant analysis to automatically select the most discriminating features for gesture classification. A recursive partition tree approximator is proposed to do classification. This approach combined with our previous work on the hand segmentation forms a new framework which addresses three key aspects of the hand sign interpretation, that is the hand shape, the location, and the movement. The framework has been tested to recognize 28 different hand signs. The experimental results show that the system can achieve a 93.1% recognition rate for test sequences that have not been used in the training phaseKeywords
