Research Abstract

Hand gesture can express rich information. However, existing hand shape recognition methods have several problems. In order to utilize hand gesture in a home automation, we have focused on ”wrist contour”, and have developed a wristwatch-type device that measures wrist contour using photo reflector arrays. In addition to the development of the device. I have tried to improve the hand shape recognition performance.
