Due to the advancements in computer vision, gesture recognition becomes an important research topic and is widely used for human-computer interfaces. Among gesture recognition models, the hand gesture is highly preferable because of its application in various applications like healthcare, gaming, etc. Though numerous hand gesture recognition models exist, none of these methods attained an efficient and faster detection rate in different situations. In this paper, we introduce an optimal and fast hand gesture recognition model using Faster R-CNN. The use of Faster R-CNN leads to efficient recognition at a faster rate. To evaluate the results of the Faster R-CNN model, we employ this model to a set of two benchmark hand gesture dataset. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that the Faster R-CNN model gains enhanced performance over the standard methods in terms of accuracy and computation 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%
