Abstract
In this paper, we propose using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks for large scale user-independent continuous gesture recognition. We have trained an end-to-end deep network for continuous gesture recognition (jointly learning both the feature representation and the classifier). The network performs three-dimensional (i.e. space-time) convolutions to extract features related to both the appearance and motion from volumes of color frames. Space-time invariance of the extracted features is encoded via pooling layers. The earlier stages of the network are partially initialized using the work of Tran et al. before being adapted to the task of gesture recognition. An earlier version of the proposed method, which was trained for 11,250 iterations, was submitted to ChaLearn 2016 Continuous Gesture Recognition Challenge and ranked 2nd with the Mean Jaccard Index Score of 0.269235. When the proposed method was further trained for 28,750 iterations, it achieved state-of-the-art performance on the same dataset, yielding a 0.314779 Mean Jaccard Index Score.
