Abstract :
We present a system for 3D hand gesture recognition based on low-cost time-of-flight(ToF) sensors intended for outdoor use in automotive human-machine interaction. As signal quality is impaired compared to Kinect-type sensors, we study several ways to improve performance when a large number of gesture classes is involved. Our system fuses data coming from two ToF sensors which is used to build up a large database and subsequently train a multilayer perceptron (MLP). We demonstrate that we are able to reliably classify a set of ten hand gestures in real-time and describe the setup of the system, the utilised methods as well as possible application scenarios.
