  • Gesture recognition
    Patent number: 10488939
    Abstract: A gesture recognition method comprises receiving at a processor from a sensor a sequence of captured signal frames for extracting hand pose information for a hand and using at least one trained predictor executed on the processor to extract hand pose information from the received signal frames. For at least one defined gesture, defined as a time sequence comprising hand poses, with each of the hand poses defined as a conjunction or disjunction of qualitative propositions relating to interest points on the hand, truth values are computed for the qualitative propositions using the hand pose information extracted from the received signal frames, and execution of the gesture is tracked, by using the truth values to determine which of the hand poses in the time sequence have already been executed and which of the hand poses in the time sequence is expected next.
