Abstract

Noise problems in processing small images or large-granularity images are reduced by representing hand images as rotational vectors calculated using a real-valued centroid. The hand region is therefore sectored independently of pixel quantization. Color segmentation is used to identify hand-color regions, followed by region labelling to filter out noise regions based on region size. Principal component analysis is used to plot gesture models.
