Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new hand shape recognition algorithm based on the geometric features using the convex-hull from the depth image acquired by Kinect system. Kinect is a camera providing a depth image and user’s skeleton information and used for detecting hand region. In the proposed algorithm, hand region is detected in a depth image acquired by Kinect and convex-hull of the region is found. Boundary points caused by noise and unnecessary points for recognition are eliminated in the convex-hull that changes depending on hand shape. Hand shape is recognized by the sum of internal angle of a polygon that is matched with convex-hull reconstructed with selected boundary points. Through experiments, we confirm that proposed algorithm shows high recognition rate not only for five models but also those cases rotated. 키워드 : 볼록선체, 깊이영상, 손 모양 인식, 경계점 제거 Key word : Convex-hull, depth image, hand shape recognition, boundary point removal Journal of the Korea Institute of Information and Communication Engineering 한국정보통신학회논문지(J.
