Hand gesture recognition with depth images_ A review.pdfVIP

? Abstract— This paper presents a literature review on the use of depth for hand tracking and gesture recognition. The survey examines 37 papers describing depth-based gesture recognition systems in terms of (1) the hand localization and gesture classification methods developed and used, (2) the applications where gesture recognition has been tested, and (3) the effects of the low-cost Kinect and OpenNI software libraries on gesture recognition research. The survey is organized around a novel model of the hand gesture recognition process. In the reviewed literature, 13 methods we
