Hand gesture is language through which normal people can communicate with deaf and dumb people. Hand gesture recognition detects the hand pose and converts it to the corresponding alphabet or sentence. In past years it received great attention from society because of its application. It uses machine learning algorithms. Hand gesture recognition is a great application of human computer interaction. An emerging research field that is based on human centered computing aims to understand human gestures and integrate users and their social context with computer systems. One of the unique and challenging applications in this framework is to collect information about human dynamic gestures. Keywords: Tensor Flow, Machine learning, React js, handmark model, media pipeline

ForceMyography (FMG) is an emerging competitor to surface ElectroMyography (sEMG) for hand gesture recognition. Most of the state-of-the-art research in this area explores different machine learning algorithms or feature engineering to improve hand gesture recognition performance. This paper proposes a novel signal processing pipeline employing a manifold learning method to produce a robust signal representation to boost hand gesture classifiers’ performance. We tested this approach on an FMG dataset collected from nine participants in 3 different data collection sessions with short delays between each. For each participant’s data, the proposed pipeline was applied, and then different classification algorithms were used to evaluate the effect of the pipeline compared to raw FMG signals in hand gesture classification. The results show that incorporating the proposed pipeline reduced variance within the same gesture data and notably maximized variance between different gestures, allowing improved robustness of hand gestures classification performance and consistency across time. On top of that, the pipeline improved the classification accuracy consistently regardless of different classifiers, gaining an average of 5% accuracy improvement.


The hand gesture detection problem is one of the most prominent problems in machine learning and computer vision applications. Many machine learning techniques have been employed to solve the hand gesture recognition. These techniques find applications in sign language recognition, virtual reality, human machine interaction, autonomous vehicles, driver assistive systems etc. In this paper, the goal is to design a system to correctly identify hand gestures from a dataset of hundreds of hand gesture images. In order to incorporate this, decision fusion based system using the transfer learning architectures is proposed to achieve the said task. Two pretrained models namely ‘MobileNet’ and ‘Inception V3’ are used for this purpose. To find the region of interest (ROI) in the image, YOLO (You Only Look Once) architecture is used which also decides the type of model. Edge map images and the spatial images are trained using two separate versions of the MobileNet based transfer learning architecture and then the final probabilities are combined to decide upon the hand sign of the image. The simulation results using classification accuracy indicate the superiority of the approach of this paper against the already researched approaches using different quantitative techniques such as classification accuracy.

Visual interpretation of hand gestures is a natural method of achieving Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In this paper, we present an approach to setting up of a smart home where the appliances can be controlled by an implementation of a Hand Gesture Recognition System. More specifically, this recognition system uses Transfer learning, which is a technique of Machine Learning, to successfully distinguish between pre-trained gestures and identify them properly to control the appliances. The gestures are sequentially identified as commands which are used to actuate the appliances. The proof of concept is demonstrated by controlling a set of LEDs that represent the appliances, which are connected to an Arduino Uno Microcontroller, which in turn is connected to the personal computer where the actual gesture recognition is implemented
