Hand Gesture Recognition Algorithm Using SVM and HOG Model for Control of Robotic System

摘要

In this study, we propose the gesture recognition algorithm using support vector machines (SVM) and histogram of oriented gradient (HOG). Besides, we also use the CNN model to classify gestures. We approach and select techniques of applying problem controlling for the robotic system. The goal of the algorithm is to detect gestures with real-time processing speed, minimize interference, and reduce the ability to capture unintentional gestures. Static gesture controls are used in this study including on, off, increasing, and decreasing. Besides, it uses motion gestures including turning on the status switch and increasing and decreasing the volume. Results show that the algorithm is up to 99% accuracy with a 70-millisecond execution time per frame that is suitable for industrial applications.
