Abstract :
Experiments with acceleration sensors is described for static and dynamic gesture recognition of a mobile device user. Static gestures are recognized with the self-organizing mapping scheme of Kohonen while a hidden Markov model is used for recognizing dynamic gestures. An experimental sensor box for the research of context-awareness is also explained. Experimental results show great promise of the chosen technologies for recognizing gestures of a user of a mobile device
