Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have been developed a hand-washing support system by using video processing technologies. First of all, we classified hand-washing styles into 6 groups, and then prepared hand-washing movies as the learning data. This system extracts the optical flow and skin area of the hands from hand-washing movies, learns the hand-washing features by using the support vector machine. Moreover, this system can evaluate and give appropriate advices for the right hand-washing enough time for all hand-washing styles.
