Abstract

Human-computer Interaction systems based on hand-gesture recognition are nowadays of great interest to establish a natural communication between humans and machines. However, the visual recognition of gestures and other human poses remains a challenging problem. In this paper, the original volumetric spatiograms of local binary patterns descriptor has been extended to efficiently and robustly encode the spatial and temporal information of hand gestures. This enhancement mitigates the dimensionality problems of the previous approach, and considers more temporal information to achieve a higher recognition rate. Excellent results have been obtained, outperforming other existing approaches of the state of the art.
