Gesture signs in social interaction: how group size influences gesture communication
This thesis explores the effects of group size on gesture communication. Signs in general change, in the kind of information they convey and the way in which they do so, and changes depend on interactive communication. For instance, speech is like dialogue in smaller groups but like monologue in …

PEN-BASED GESTURE RECOGNITION
… idea, inspired us to devise a set of radial gestures for direct manipulation. A supporting set of gestures for text-editing was also adapted from Wolf and Morrel-Samuels’ work. By putting these two sets of gestures together, we can form a pen-based user interface to the Finder. Our …

Gesture Recognition in Tennis Biomechanics
The purpose of this study is to create a gesture recognition system that interprets motion capture data of a tennis player to determine which biomechanical aspects of a tennis swing best correlate to a swing efficacy. For our learning set this work aimed to record 50 tennis athletes of similar …

Gesture in automatic discourse processing
… the particularly expressive modality of hand gesture, and focuses on building structured statistical models at the intersection of speech, vision, and meaning. My approach is distinguished in two key respects. First, gestural patterns are leveraged to discover parallel structures in the …

Hand gesture recognition for multimedia applications
Hand gesture is potentially a very natural and useful modality for human-machine interaction. It is considered to be one of the most complicated and interesting challenges in computer vision due to its articulated structure and environmental variations. Solving such challenges requires robust hand …

Interactive Imaging via Hand Gesture Recognition.
… two main parts: Hand Motion Detection and Hand Gesture recognition. Within a hand motion detection processing, movement of hand will be identified and extracted. In a specific detection period, the current image is compared with the previous image in order to generate the difference between …

Machine Learning Techniques for Gesture Recognition
… this lies in the large emphasis humans place on gestures while communicating with each other and while interacting with machines. Such gestures can be digitized in a number of ways, including both passive methods, such as cameras, and active methods, such as wearable sensors. While passive …
