In this work, we propose a vision-based hand gesture recognition system to provide a high-security and smart node in the application layer of Internet of Things. The system can be installed in any terminal device with a monocular camera and interact with users by recognizing pointing gestures in the captured images. The interaction information is determined by a straight line from the user’s eye to the tip of the index finger, which achieves real-time and authentic data communication. The system mainly contains two modules. The first module is an edge repair-based hand subpart segmentation algorithm which combines pictorial structures and edge information to extract hand regions from complex backgrounds. Second, the position which the user focuses on is located by an adaptive method of pointing gesture estimation, which adjusts the offsets between the target position and the calculated position due to lack of depth information.

In recent years, surface electromyography (sEMG)-based human–computer interaction has been developed to improve the quality of life for people. Gesture recognition based on the instantaneous values of sEMG has the advantages of accurate prediction and low latency. However, the low generalization ability of the hand gesture recognition method limits its application to new subjects and new hand gestures, and brings a heavy training burden. For this reason, based on a convolutional neural network, a transfer learning (TL) strategy for instantaneous gesture recognition is proposed to improve the generalization performance of the target network. CapgMyo and NinaPro DB1 are used to evaluate the validity of our proposed strategy. Compared with the non-transfer learning (non-TL) strategy, our proposed strategy improves the average accuracy of new subject and new gesture recognition by 18.7% and 8.74%, respectively, when up to three repeated gestures are employed. The TL strategy reduces the training time by a factor of three. Experiments verify the transferability of spatial features and the validity of the proposed strategy in improving the recognition accuracy of new subjects and new gestures, and reducing the training burden. The proposed TL strategy provides an effective way of improving the generalization ability of the gesture recognition system.

Hand gestures are a kind of nonverbal communication in which visible bodily actions are used to communicate important messages. Recently, hand gesture recognition has received significant attention from the research community for various applications, including advanced driver assistance systems, prosthetic, and robotic control. Therefore, accurate and fast classification of hand gesture is required. In this research, we created a deep neural network as the first step to develop a real-time camera-only hand gesture recognition system without electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We present the system software architecture in a fair amount of details. The proposed system was able to recognize hand signs with an accuracy of 97.31%.
