Abstract

As an emerging human-computer interaction (HCI) technology, recognition of human hand gesture is considered a very powerful means for human intention reading. To construct a system with a reliable and robust hand gesture recognition algorithm, it is necessary to resolve several major difficulties of hand gesture recognition, such as inter-person variation, intra-person variation, and false positive error caused by meaningless hand gestures. This paper proposes a learning algorithm and also a classification technique, based on multivariate fuzzy decision tree (MFDT). Efficient control of a fuzzified decision boundary in the MFDT leads to reduction of intra-person variation, while proper selection of a user dependent (UD) recognition model contributes to minimization of inter-person variation. The proposed method is tested first by using two benchmark data sets in UCI Machine Learning Repository and then by a hand gesture data set obtained from 10 people for 15 days. The experimental results show a discernibly enhanced classification performance as well as user adaptation capability of the proposed algorithm.
