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 …

Surface electromyography signal classification using SFDN+DNN for hand gesture recognition
… the Surface Electromyography (SEMG) signals for hand movement recognition is presented and compared to the other approaches in the literature. EMG or muscle’s cells electrical activity are the electrical signals that are carried from the brain to the muscles through the spinal cord. These signals …

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 …

Alps : exploring the intersection of gesture input systems and tangible media
In this thesis, I designed and implemented a gesture-based system to manipulate tangible media. Namely, I created a gesture interface to Google Earth that sends data to a geo-spacial, three-dimensional display called Relief. This thesis is both a demonstration and an attempt to elaborate on the …

Visual tracking of highly articulated objects using massively parallel processors
Hand gesture recognition has the potential of simplifying human computer interactions. However, the human hand is a highly articulated object, capable of taking on many different appearances. In this work, we consider an analysis by synthesis approach to this difficult tracking problem. We attempt …

The relationship between representational, beat, and cohesive gestures and speech disfluency in the 2012 presidential debate
Hand gestures are yoked to speech in a highly-correlated system, often referred to as co-speech (Hostetter, 2011). Both disfluency and gesture have been show to influence audience reaction during political debates (e.g., Pennebaker, Mehl, & Niederhoffer, 2003). This study examined the relation …
