REAL-TIME HAND GESTURE DETECTION AND RECOGNITION USING CONVOLUTIONAL ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Abstract

Real-time hand gesture detection is an interesting topic in pattern recognition and computer vision. In this study, we propose the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to detect and recognize hands in real-time. Our goal is to develop a system that can accurately identify and interpret user gestures in real-time. The proposed approach involves two main stages, namely hand gesture recognition and gesture recognition. For stage detection, we use the CNN architecture to recognize hands in the video. We train the CNN model using a dataset containing various hand gestures. Once a hand is detected, we extract the relevant hand region and proceed to the gesture recognition stage. The gesture recognition stage involves training and testing CNN models for different hand signal recognition. We use a hand gesture dataset that contains a variety of common hand signals. The experimental results show that the proposed system can detect and recognize hand movements in real-time with satisfactory accuracy. Although there are still some challenges that need to be overcome, this research provides a solid foundation for further development in real-time hand gesture recognition.
