Abstract :
We propose a fast algorithm for automatically recognizing several common hand gestures and its application background is navigation of robot. The rapidity of this system reflects in four aspects: definition of gesture control signals, selection of gesture model, segmentation of hand gesture area, and features extraction. The experimental results show that the system can respond to gesture commands quickly and have good performance in real-time and accuracy.
