Hand gesture provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human computer interface. Many hand gesture recognition methods using visual analysis have been proposed. In our research, we exploit multiple cues including divergence features, vorticity features and hand motion direction vector. Divergence and vorticity are derived from the optical flow for hand gesture recognition in videos. Then these features are computed by principal component analysis method. The hand tracking algorithm finds the hand centroids for every frame, computes hand motion direction vector. At last, we introduced dynamic time warping method to verify the robustness of our features. Those experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields a satisfactory recognition rate.

Hand segmentation and tracking are important issues for hand-gesture recognition. Using depth data, it can speed up the segmentation process because we can delete unnecessary data like the background of the image easily. In this research, we modify DBSCAN clustering algorithm to make it faster and suitable for our system. This method is used in both hand tracking and hand gesture recognition. The results show that our method performs well in this system. The proposed method can outperform the original DBSCAN and the other clustering method in terms of computational time.

Automatic classification of dynamic hand gesture is challenging due to the large diversity in a different class of gesture, Low resolution, and it is performed by finger. Due to a number of challenges many researchers focus on this area. Recently deep neural network can be used for implicit feature extraction and Soft Max layer is used for classification. In this paper, we propose a method based on a two-dimensional convolutional neural network that performs detection and classification of hand gesture simultaneously from multimodal Red, Green, Blue, Depth (RGBD) and Optical flow Data and passes this feature to Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent network for frame-to-frame probability generation with Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) network for loss calculation. We have calculated an optical flow from Red, Green, Blue (RGB) data for getting proper motion information present in the video. CTC model is used to efficiently evaluate all possible alignment of hand gesture via dynamic programming and check consistency via frame-to-frame for the visual similarity of hand gesture in the unsegmented input stream. CTC network finds the most probable sequence of a frame for a class of gesture. The frame with the highest probability value is selected from the CTC network by max decoding. This entire CTC network is trained end-to-end with calculating CTC loss for recognition of the gesture. We have used challenging Vision for Intelligent Vehicles and Applications (VIVA) dataset for dynamic hand gesture recognition captured with RGB and Depth data. On this VIVA dataset, our proposed hand gesture recognition technique outperforms competing state-of-the-art algorithms and gets an accuracy of 86%
