Abstract

Hand posture recognition is an active research topic in computer vision and robotics with many applications ranging from automatic sign language recognition to human-system interaction. Recently, we have proposed a new descriptor for hand representation based on the kernel method (KDES) [1]. Our new descriptor inherits the main idea of KDES but we proposed three improvements to make it more robust. One of the improvements was that we introduced a new hand pyramid structure [14]. Intuitively, hand pyramid is more suitable to hand structure than conventional pyramid. In our previous work, we have demonstrated that the combination of improvements to KDES gives more accurate hand posture classification than using original KDES. However, it still lacks discussions and experimental evidences of the contribution of hand pyramid for hand representation. In this paper, we build specific hand dataset and conduct more experiments to show how hand pyramid contributes for hand representation. We will discuss deeply on the results and analyze the impact of this pyramid on hand posture classification.
