Hand gesture recognition consists of identifying the class and the instant of occurrence of a
given movement of the hand. The solutions to this problem have many applications in …

After many decades of research, the ability to interact with technology through touchless
gestures and sensed body movements is becoming an everyday reality. The emergence of …

The growth of image-guided procedures in surgical settings has led to an increased need to
interact with digital images under sterile conditions. Traditional touch-based interaction …

Any human–computer interaction application needs to be able to recognize gestures. Hand
gesture detection systems that recognize gestures in real time can improve human …

Within medical settings there is a growing interest in exploring touchless interaction
technologies. The primary motivation here is to avoid contact during interaction with data so …

Hand gesture recognition (HGR) systems using electromyography (EMG) bracelet-type
sensors are currently largely used over other HGR technologies. However, bracelets are …

Hand gesture recognition (HGR) from sequences of depth maps is a challenging computer
vision task because of the low inter-class and high intra-class variability, different execution …

Review of prior and real-time patient images is critical during an interventional radiology
procedure; however, it often poses the challenge of efficiently reviewing images while …

Background The increasingly pervasive presence of technology in the operating room raises
the need to study the interaction between the surgeon and computer system. A new …

Traditional human-computer interaction technology relies heavily on input devices such as
mice and keyboards, which limit the speed and naturalness of interaction and can no longer …
