In view of the low application ability of piano improvisational accompaniment of music majors, this paper proposes a method of big data combined with MIDI keyboard and Kinect depth sensor to achieve the purpose of recognizing chord progression and judging fingering when students perform, and realizes the auxiliary teaching system. Firstly, the information of color and depth images is obtained, and the state transition diagram of chord transposition and chord gesture template library are constructed as the system initialization conditions. Secondly, using the traditional skin color modeling and background difference method as well as the current depth data, the gesture recognition is realized by template matching. Finally, the correctness of chord progression is judged, and comprehensive fingering application is used to score and evaluate. The experimental results show that the system has high robustness and can be effectively applied to piano teaching.

Automatic fingerspelling recognition tackles the communication barrier between deaf and hearing individuals. However, the accuracy of fingerspelling recognition is reduced by high intra-class variability and low inter-class variability. In the existing methods, regular convolutional kernels, which have limited receptive fields (RFs) and often cannot detect subtle discriminative details, are applied to learn features. In this study, we propose a receptive field-aware network with finger attention (RFaNet) that highlights the finger regions and builds inter-finger relations. To highlight the discriminative details of these fingers, RFaNet reweights the low-level features of the hand depth image with those of the non-forearm image and improves finger localization, even when the wrist is occluded. RFaNet captures neighboring and inter-region dependencies between fingers in high-level features. An atrous convolution procedure enlarges the RFs at multiple scales and a non-local operation computes the interactions between multi-scale feature maps, thereby facilitating the building of inter-finger relations. Thus, the representation of a sign is invariant to viewpoint changes, which are primarily responsible for intra-class variability. On an American Sign Language fingerspelling dataset, RFaNet achieved 1.77% higher classification accuracy than state-of-the-art methods. RFaNet achieved effective transfer learning when the number of labeled depth images was insufficient. The fingerspelling representation of a depth image can be effectively transferred from large- to small-scale datasets via highlighting the finger regions and building inter-finger relations, thereby reducing the requirement for expensive fingerspelling annotations.

To interact with world using expressions or body movements is comparatively effective than just speaking. Gesture recognition can be a better way to convey meaningful information. Communication through gestures has been widely used by humans to express their thoughts and feelings. Gestures can be performed with any body part like head, face, hands and arms but most predominantly hand is use to perform gestures, Hand Gesture Recognition have been widely accepted for numerous applications such as human computer interactions, robotics, sign language recognition, etc. This paper focuses on bare hand gesture recognition system by proposing a scheme using a database-driven hand gesture recognition based upon skin color model approach and thresholding approach along with an effective template matching with can be effectively used for human robotics applications and similar other applications .Initially, hand region is segmented by applying skin color model in YCbCr color space. Y represents the luminance and Cb and Cr represents chrominance. In the next stage Otsu thresholding is applied to separate foreground and background. Finally, template based matching technique is developed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), k-nearest neighbour (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for recognition. KNN is used for statistical estimation and pattern recognition. SVM can be used for classification or regression problems.

<p>Before you recognize anyone, it is essential to identify various characteristics variations from one person to another. among of this characteristics, we have those relating to the face. Nowadays the detection of skin regions in an image has become an important research topic for the location of a face in the image. In this research study, unlike previous research studies  related  to  this  topic  which  have  focused  on  images  inputs  data  faces,  we  are  more interested to the fields face detection in mixed-subject documents (text + images). The face detection system developed is based on the hybrid method to distinguish two categories of objects from the mixed document. The first category is all that is text or images containing figures having no skin color, and the second category is any figure with the same color as the skin. In the second phase the detection system is based on Template Matching method to distinguish among the figures of the second category only those that contain faces to detect them. To validate this study, the system developed is tested on the various documents which including text and image.</p>

Performance And Evaluation

With the rise of piano teaching in recent years, many people participated in the team of learning steel playing. However, expensive piano teaching fees and its unique one-to-one teaching model have caused piano education resources to be very short, so learning piano performance has become a very extravagant event. The factors affecting music performance are varying, and there are many types of their evaluation such as rhythm, expressiveness, music, and style grasp. The computer is used to simulate this evaluation process to essentially identify the mathematical relationship between factors affecting music performance and evaluation indicators. The use of computer multimedia software for piano teaching has become a feasible way to alleviate the contradiction. This paper discusses the implementation method of piano teaching software, the issues of computer piano teaching, the computer teaching as one-way knowledge, and the lack of interaction. The neural network (NN) model is used to evaluate the piano performance and simulate teachers to guide students through their exercise. The performance of the proposed system is tested for the piano music of “Ode to Joy,” which is different from the collection of NN training samples, and is delivered ten times by another piano teacher, student A (piano level 6), and student B (piano level 5).
