Abstract

We investigate in this work the effect of motion sampling rate over recognition accuracy and execution time for current template-based gesture recognizers in order to provide performance guidelines to practitioners and designers of gesture-based interfaces. We show that as few as 6 sampling points are sufficient for Euclidean and angular recognizers to attain high recognition rates and that a linear relationship exists between sampling rate and number of gestures for the dynamic time warping technique. We report execution times obtained with our controlled downsampling which are 10-20 times faster than shown by existing work at the same high recognition rates. The results of this work will benefit practitioners by providing important performance aspects to consider when using template-based gesture recognizers.
