  • Publication number: 20230359280
    Abstract: A method of customizing a hand gesture provides a touch screen, a computing unit connected with the touch screen, and a hand gesture database connected with the computing unit, and the method includes the following steps: recording a hand gesture trajectory data input of an input hand gesture on the touch screen; converting the hand gesture trajectory data input into a 2D trajectory graph of the input hand gesture; the computing unit sequentially reads a 2D hand gesture reference graph from the hand gesture database, and correspondingly generates a 2D hand gesture reference graph set for the 2D hand gesture reference graph read, and then the computing unit compares the similarity between the 2D trajectory graph of the input hand gesture and each reference graph in the 2D hand gesture reference graph set to determine whether the input hand gesture is already in the hand gesture database.

  • Publication number: 20230324998
    Abstract: A temporal sequence alignment method includes the following steps: receiving gesture training data and gesture sample data; wherein the gesture training data includes multiple training frames and multiple training soft labels, and the gesture sample data includes multiple sample frames and multiple sample soft labels; compressing the training frames to generate a compressed training frame; compressing the sample frames to generate a compressed sample frame; calculating an alignment model of the compressed training frame and the compressed sample frame; aligning the sample soft labels to multiple aligned soft labels according to the alignment model; generating an aligned training data according to the gesture sample data and the aligned soft labels. The present invention uses the aforementioned steps to calibrate the sample soft labels of the gesture sample data, allowing a gesture recognition system to minimize time discrepancy for recognizing a gesture.

  • Patent number: 10846521
    Abstract: A gesture recognition system executes a gesture recognition method which includes the following steps: receiving a sensing signal; selecting one of the sensing frames from the sensing signal; generating a sensing map by applying 2D FFT to the selected sensing frame; selecting a cell having a largest amplitude in the sensing map; calculating the velocity of the cell and setting the velocity of the selected sensing frame to be the velocity of the cell; labeling the selected sensing frame as a valid sensing frame if the velocity of the selected sensing frame exceeds a threshold value, otherwise labeling the selected sensing frame as an invalid sensing frame; using all of the sensing maps of the valid sensing frames in the sensing signal as the input data for the neural network of the gesture recognition system and accordingly performing gesture recognition and gesture event classification.

  • Patent number: 10817712
    Abstract: A gesture recognition system executes a gesture recognition method. The gesture recognition method includes steps of: receiving a training signal; selecting one of the sensing frames of the sensing signal; generating a sensing map; selecting a cell having the max-amplitude; determining a frame amplitude, a frame phase, and a frame range of the selected one of the sensing frames; setting the frame amplitudes, the frame phases, and the frame ranges of all of the sensing frames to input data of a neural network to classify a gesture event. The present invention just uses a few data to be the input data of the neural network. Therefore, the neural network may not require high computational complexity, the gesture recognition system may decrease the calculation load of the processing unit, and the gesture recognition function may not influence a normal operation of a smart device.

  • Patent number: 10810411
    Abstract: A performing device of a gesture recognition system for reducing a false alarm rate executes a performing procedure of a gesture recognition method for reducing the false alarm rate. The gesture recognition system includes two neural networks. A first recognition neural network is used to classify a gesture event, and a first noise neural network is used to determine whether the sensing signal is the noise. Since the first noise neural network can determine whether the sensing signal is the noise, the gesture event may not be executed when the sensing signal is the noise. Therefore, the false alarm rate may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10796139
    Abstract: A gesture recognition system using siamese neural network executes a gesture recognition method. The gesture recognition method includes steps of: receiving a first training signal to calculate a first feature; receiving a second training signal to calculate a second feature; determining a distance between the first feature and the second feature in a feature space; adjusting the distance between the first feature and the second feature in feature space according to a predetermined parameter. Two neural networks are used to generate the first feature and the second feature, and determine the distance between the first feature and the second feature in the feature space for training the neural networks. Therefore, the gesture recognition system does not need a big amount of data to train one neural network for classifying a sensing signal. A user may easily define a new personalized gesture.
