Abstract Human Computer Interaction (HCI) technologies are rapidly evolving the way we
interact with computing devices and adapting to the constantly increasing demands of …

As computers become more pervasive in society, facilitating natural human–computer
interaction (HCI) will have a positive impact on their use. Hence, there has been growing …

Considerable effort has been put toward the development of intelligent and natural
interfaces between users and computer systems. In line with this endeavor, several modes …

Three-dimensional hand gesture recognition has attracted increasing research interests in
computer vision, pattern recognition, and human-computer interaction. The emerging depth …

Gestures play an important role in human-computer interaction, which provides a natural
way for human-machine communication. In this paper, we proposed a new finger motion …

In this paper we present a novel vision-based markerless hand pose estimation scheme with
the input of depth image sequences. The proposed scheme exploits both temporal …

One of the crucial problems found in the scientific community of assistive/rehabilitation
robotics nowadays is that of automatically detecting what a disabled subject (for instance, a …

This paper presents a gravity optimised particle filter (GOPF) where the magnitude of the
gravitational force for every particle is proportional to its weight. GOPF attracts nearby …

The use of hand gestures offers an alternative to the commonly used human–computer
interfaces (ie keyboard, mouse, gamepad, voice, etc.), providing a more intuitive way of …

Given the recent progress in the development of computer vision, it is nowadays possible to
optically track features of the human body with unprecedented precision. We take this as a …
