Touchless Recognition of Hand Gesture Digits and English Characters Using Convolutional Neural Networks

摘要

Computer technology has changed the way humans define success. Gesture recognition is a new and intuitive interaction method, as it does not require any mechanical interface for interaction. The model proposed takes input from the user using an infrared emitter and a web camera and this is used to generate a 28 × 28 image contains the drawn character. This is passed through a convolutional neural network which detects the character drawn. The benefits include reliability and cost-effective nature of the proposed system. Such an approach can help people with disabilities.
