Abstract :
Gesture recognition is a valuable extension for interaction with portable devices. This paper presents a framework for interaction by hand gestures using a head mounted camera system. The framework includes automatic activation using AdaBoost hand detection, tracking of chromatic and luminance color modes based on adaptive mean shift and pose recognition using template matching of the polar histogram. The system achieves 95% detection rate and 96% classification accuracy at real time processing, for a non-static camera setup and cluttered background
