Abstract

In this paper, the process of recognizing hand gestures based on RGB images and videos is described, where the idea was to explore possibilities of detection arm and hand position and hand gestures. Methods that were developed and analyzed in this paper are based on machine learning, but also along them, some methods that aren't based on machine learning were also analyzed, to compere results. First, the method of static hand gestures recog­nition using already existing OpenCV library methods were described. Next, the method for detecting static hand gestu­res using convolutional neural networks was developed. Finally, as the main focus of the paper, the method of detecting dynamic hand gestures was implemented [1], using machine learning based on 3D convolutional neural networks. This method was further adapted to optimize the results of a selected data set. Likewise, experimental results are given, where the performances of the implemented algorithm was analyzed.
