Description
Summary:碩士 === 中華工學院 === 電機工程學系 === 85 === Man-machine interface is becoming more and more important and highly challenging task in these days. Many applications can be found in Virtual Reality or multimedia area. Glove gesture recognition plays an essential role in these applications. Due to some technical problems, gesture recognition has not been achieved to a satisfactory successful rate. We implemented a spatio-temporal based real-time gesture recognition system. The system uses spatio-temporal dynamic feature to recognize user- defined gestures.Gesture recognition is difficult for various reasons. The variations include the speed of the movement of a gesture, environment changes, quality and the way describing a gesture for various users. The traditional approaches have been only partially successful. In this thesis, we describe our approach to overcome the difficulties using spatio-temporal feature extraction and radial basis function neural network. The system extracts spatio-temporal feature by using dynamic time warping method. We train and recognize multi-gestures using radial basis function neural network and orthogonal radial basis function neural network. It effectively solves the real-time recognition problem. The resulting system can train the defined gesture in real time and achieve a high gesture recognition rate (over 90%).
