  • Abstract
    This paper presents a recognition algorithm of restricted hand shapes and of a moving hand that is based on detailed analysis of restricted hand shapes as a man-machine interface. The hand shape recognition algorithm consists of two parts: hand region extraction process and hand shape recognition process. Furthermore, the algorithm can be applied to recognition of a moving hand. In this paper, recognition of a moving hand is reduced to recognition of still image. A moving hand is recognized by the proposed method in real time.
