A frame-based model for hand gesture recognition

In this paper, we present a home-based model for hand gesture recognition. We define two different types of frames, object frames and behavior frames, and integrate them into schemas to model meaningful hand gestures. A schema specifies in what order object frames and behavior frames have to be evoked. One of our design goals is to provide a framework which virtually imposes no restrictions on the type of hand gestures it can handle, so that the system can be easily adapted to particular applications
