A Study on Static Hand Gesture Recognition using Moments 静态手势识别研究中矩的应用 S. Padam Priyal and Prabin.K.Bora Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati, India Email: {s.priyal, prabin}@iitg.ernet.in Abstract—Hand gesture recognition is one of the key techniques in developing user-friendly interfaces for human-computer interaction. Static hand gestures are the most essential facets of gesture recognition. View point invariance and user independence are among the important requirements for realizing a real time gesture recognition system. In this context, the geometric moments and the orthogonal moments namely the Zernike, Tchebichef and Krawtchouk moments are explored. The proposed system detects the hand region through skin color identification and obtains the binary silhouette. These images are normalized for rotation and scale changes. The moment features of the normalized hand gestures are classified using a minimum distance classifier. The classification results suggest that the Krawtchouk moment features are comparatively robust to view point changes and also exhibit user independence. I 摘要----手势识别是研发用户友好的人机交互界面的关键技术之一。静态手势手势识别是其中最重要的方面。观察视点不变性和用户独立性是众多为实现实时手势识别系统的重要需求中的其中两种。因此，我们对几何矩和正交矩即Zernike，Tchebichef和Krawtchouk矩进行了探讨。在应用中，拟定系统通过皮肤颜色识别检测手所在的区域，并且得到了二进制表示的手部轮廓。将这些得到的图像根据旋转度的变化和比例的变化进行规范化。规范化后的手势利用一种最小距离分类器将其矩特性区分成各个不同类型。结果表明: 相较其他类型的矩，Krawtchouk矩在观察点变化时健壮性（即稳定性）较好，并且较好地体现了用户独立性。 index Terms—Geometric moments, Hand gesture, Krawtchouk moments, Tchebichef moments, View and user independent recognition, Zernike moments. 索引词----几何矩，手势，Krawtchouk矩，,Tchebichef矩，视点和用户独立性的识别，Zernike矩。 I. INTRODUCTION Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an interesting area of research factoring development in the field of automaton. The recent advancement has led to the emergence of HCI systems that embody the ‘natural’ way of communication between humans. Therefore, attempts in integrating communication modalities like s
