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%.

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.

In this paper, a method to detect frames was described that can be used as hand gesture data when configuring a real-time hand gesture recognition system using continuous wave (CW) radar. Detecting valid frames raises accuracy which recognizes gestures. Therefore, it is essential to detect valid frames in the real-time hand gesture recognition system using CW radar. The conventional research on hand gesture recognition systems has not been conducted on detecting valid frames. We took the R-wave on electrocardiogram (ECG) detection as the conventional method. The detection probability of the conventional method was 85.04%. It has a low accuracy to use the hand gesture recognition system. The proposal consists of 2-stages to improve accuracy. We measured the performance of the detection method of hand gestures provided by the detection probability and the recognition probability. By comparing the performance of each detection method, we proposed an optimal detection method. The proposal detects valid frames with an accuracy of 96.88%, 11.84% higher than the accuracy of the conventional method. Also, the recognition probability of the proposal method was 94.21%, which was 3.71% lower than the ideal method.
