To attain smooth human interaction, we propose a system which simultaneously utilizes the stereo disparity and optical flow information of real-time stereo gray multiresolution images to recognize objects and gestures. For real-time calculation of the disparity and optical flow information of a stereo image, the system first creates pyramid images by utilizing a Gaussian filter. The system then determines the disparity and optical flow of a low density image and extracts regions in front of a certain depth. The three foremost regions are recognized by higher order local auto-correlation features and a linear discriminant analysis. With this process, the system recognizes the face and hand signs of users, which are displayed foremost, and roughly recognizes novements within the region in real-time. With this framework, the system can discriminate the face of a user, can monitor the basic movements of the user, can smoothly learn a presented object by users, and can communicate with users from hand signs learned in advance.
