Hand Gesture Recognition System Using Deep Learning

Abstract

Hand Gesture Recognition Systems have undergone significant advancements, ushering in a new era of human-computer interaction. This paper offers a thorough examination of the current state of the art in hand gesture recognition, addressing both the notable progress achieved and the persistent challenges. By leveraging state-of-the-art technologies such as computer vision and deep learning, the paper explores the methodologies employed in data collection, preprocessing, and the implementation of various algorithms. The research delves into the complexities of popular hand gesture datasets, emphasizing their role in training and testing models. A critical analysis of different algorithms and models, including Hidden Markov Models, Support Vector Machines, and Neural Networks, is presented. The paper scrutinizes their strengths and limitations, providing insights into the delicate balance between accuracy and real-time processing. Furthermore, it investigates the diverse applications of hand gesture recognition, spanning from enriching human-computer interaction to its pivotal role in virtual reality, gaming, and robotics. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, such as occlusion, varying lighting conditions, and the imperative for real-time processing. The hardware utilized in hand gesture recognition systems, including depth sensors, RGB-D cameras, and wearable devices, is examined. Evaluation metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and the F1 score, are employed to evaluate system performance.
