Abstract

Hand gesture recognition has been a major challenge during the recent years. Many of the hand gesture recognition systems however, have been restricted to a few number of possible movements. Some applications such as gesture recognition in understanding sign languages, include a large number of classes and need an automatic learning method for extracting the features of each class. An important characteristic of these applications is that each sample belonging to a class may have a different length and the position of the key features may change. In this paper we have proposed a syntactic method for classifying the input sequences. The grammer of the method is extracted during training stage.
