Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for processing a hand gesture command for a media-centric wearable electronic device in an Internet of Media Things and Wearables (IoMTW) system. The processing method according to an embodiment includes acquiring a hand image of a user, distinguishing a background area and a hand area in the acquired hand image, detecting a hand shape using the distinguished hand area and generating hand contour information describing the detected hand shape, detecting a hand movement path based on a change of the distinguished hand area over time and generating hand trajectory information describing the detected hand movement path, and recognizing a hand gesture of the user using the hand contour information and the hand trajectory information.

Abstract: Smart glasses, and a system and method for processing a hand gesture command using the smart glasses. According to an exemplary embodiment, the system includes smart glasses to capture a series of images including a hand gesture of a user and represent and transmit a hand image, included in each of the series of images, as hand representation data that is represented in a predetermined format of metadata; and a gesture recognition apparatus to recognize the hand gesture of a user by using the hand representation data of the series of images received from the smart glasses, and generate and transmit a gesture command corresponding to the recognized hand gesture.
