Hand Gesture Recognition Using Superpixel Tracking and RBF Classifie
Abstract— A hand gesture recognition system using superpixel tracking and radial basis function
(RBF) classifier is proposed in this paper. Firstly we employed the motion detection of superpixels
and unsupervised image segmentation to detect the target hand in the first few video frames. Then
the hand appearance model is constructed from its surrounding superpixels. By incorporating the
failure recovery and template matching in the tracking process, the target hand is tracked by the
proposed adaptive superpixel based tracking algorithm. Experimental results show that the extracted
motion trajectories recognized with a trained RBF classifier can achieve better performance
compared to the existing state of the art methods.
Index Terms— Hand detection, motion tracking, superpixel, template matching.
