Abstract
The evolution of technology has risen new possibilities in the so called Natural User Interfaces research area. Among distinct initiatives, several researchers are working with the existing sensors towards improving the support to gesture languages. This article tackles the recognition of gestures
Highlights
The Natural User Interfaces have had a major improvement in last decade
Using the sensor abilities to get instantaneous data on the position of the distinct points / joins of the skeleton and adding the time dimension, the idea is to become able to store such gesture information so it can be used afterwards. This gesture library will store the gestures that a programmer need in a specific system he or she is developing, like, for example, the Portuguese Sign Language (PSL) gestures
As the data acquisition device used for the proof of concept was the Kinect sensor
Summary
The Natural User Interfaces have had a major improvement in last decade. The main aim of this interaction is to provide the possibility to control devices through “natural” communication means. The main objective of this research work is to improve the Software Development Kit of the Kinect Sensor, through the introduction of the time dimension Introducing this element to the instantaneous information already provided by this SDK, it will become possible to handle gestures. Using the sensor abilities to get instantaneous data on the position of the distinct points / joins of the skeleton and adding the time dimension, the idea is to become able to store such gesture information so it can be used afterwards In concrete terms, this gesture library will store the gestures that a programmer need in a specific system he or she is developing, like, for example, the Portuguese Sign Language (PSL) gestures.
