Abstract
If information concerning speech and hand gestures is handled in an integrated way, a more userβfriendly interface will be realized. These are defined here as the βhand gestureβ as the βshape and motion of hands to transmit the intention of the speaker.β They aim at the realization of the hand gesture interface.
Using the hand shape input device Data Glove^TM^, we investigate the coding of the hand shape/motion information, a series of hand shapes in a continuous motion and the recognition method for the hand motion. For the case of hand shape/motion in the alphabet gesture in the sign language, a recognition experiment is executed. It is verified that some 20 hand gestures can be recognized, including the dynamic hand gestures. As the interface for the map guidance system, the instruction by speech and hand gesture is realized.

In this paper, we introduce a hand gesture recognition system to recognize continuous gesture before stationary background. The system consists of four modules: a real time hand tracking and extraction, feature extraction, hidden Markov model (HMM) training, and gesture recognition. First, we apply
In this paper, the authors propose a new object recognition algorithm called the kernel mutual subspace method. The mutual subspace method proposed by Maeda is a superior technique for implementing robust object recognition by performing a principal component analysis on multiple input images. Howev
