Abstract

We propose a HOG-based hand gesture recognition system running on a mobile device. Input data is a video of hand gesture taken by a mobile device. The input data is compared with a database storing hand gesture images, which was synthesized with rotation variation. The comparison is done based on their HOG features and the gesture corresponding to the best-matched image is returned as the result. The recognition algorithm is implemented on a client-server system. The proposed system is applied to American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet recognition problem. The experimental results show that the proposed recognition algorithm improves HOG's robustness under rotation change and compare processing time with different network configurations.
