Title
Data Driven Model Acquisition using Minimum Description Length
Abstract
Abstract An approach is presented to automatically segment and label a continuous observation sequence of hand gestures for a complete unsupervised model acquisition. The method,is based on the assumption,that gestures can be viewed as repetitive sequences of atomic components, similar to phonemes in speech, starting and ending in a rest position and governed by a high level structure controlling the temporal sequence. It is shown,that the generating processes for the atomic components,and derived gesture models can be described by a mixture of Gaussian in their respective component,and gesture space. Mixture components,modelling atomic components,and gestures respectively are determined using a standard EM approach, while the determination of the number,of mixture components,and therefore the number,of atomic components and gestures is based on an information criterion, the Minimum,Description Length (MDL).
