Abstract

A system and method for creating a gesture and generating a classifier that can identify the gesture for use with an application is described. The designer constructs a training set of data containing positive and negative examples of the gesture. Machine learning algorithms are used to compute the optimal classification of the training data into positive and negative instances of the gesture. The machine learning algorithms generate a classifier which, given input data, makes a decision on whether the gesture was performed in the input data or not.
