Advanced Machine Learning for Gesture Learning and Recognition Based on Intelligent Big Data of Heterogeneous Sensors

With intelligent big data, a variety of gesture-based recognition systems have been developed to enable intuitive interaction by utilizing machine learning algorithms. Realizing a high gesture recognition accuracy is crucial, and current systems learn extensive gestures in advance to augment their recognition accuracies. However, the process of accurately recognizing gestures relies on identifying and editing numerous gestures collected from the actual end users of the system. This final end-user learning component remains troublesome for most existing gesture recognition systems. This paper proposes a method that facilitates end-user gesture learning and recognition by improving the editing process applied on intelligent big data, which is collected through end-user gestures. The proposed method realizes the recognition of more complex and precise gestures by merging gestures collected from multiple sensors and processing them as a single gesture. To evaluate the proposed method, it was used in a shadow puppet performance that could interact with on-screen animations. An average gesture recognition rate of 90% was achieved in the experimental evaluation, demonstrating the efficacy and intuitiveness of the proposed method for editing visualized learning gestures.
