Title
An HMM-Based Gesture Recognition Method Trained on Few Samples
Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing gestures which are captured using the Kinect sensor in a educational game devoted to the deaf community. Different strategies are evaluated to deal with the problem of having few samples for training. We have experimented a Leave One Out Training and Testing (LOOT) strategy and an HMM-based ensemble of classifiers. A dataset containing 181 videos of gestures related to nine signs commonly used in educational games is introduced, which is available for research purposes. The experimental results have shown that the proposed ensemble-based method is a promising strategy to deal with problems where few training samples are available.
