• Abstract summary: We present a method for the recognition of a set of non-static gestures acquired through the Leap Motion sensor. The acquired gesture information is converted in color images, where the variation of hand joint positions during the gesture are projected on a plane. The classification of the gestures is performed using a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

• Abstract: Defining methods for the automatic understanding of gestures is of paramount importance in many application contexts and in Virtual Reality applications for creating more natural and easy-to-use human-computer interaction methods. In this paper, we present a method for the recognition of a set of non-static gestures acquired through the Leap Motion sensor. The acquired gesture information is converted in color images, where the variation of hand joint positions during the gesture are projected on a plane and temporal information is represented with color intensity of the projected points. The classification of the gestures is performed using a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). A modified version of the popular ResNet-50 architecture is adopted, obtained by removing the last fully connected layer and adding a new layer with as many neurons as the considered gesture classes. The method has been successfully applied to the existing reference dataset and preliminary tests have already been performed for the real-time recognition of dynamic gestures performed by users.

  RAG-Gesture is a diffusion-based gesture generation approach to produce semantically rich gestures. We achieve this by using explicit domain knowledge to retrieve motions from a database of co-speech gestures. We propose a control paradigm for guidance, that allows the users to modulate the amount of influence each retrieval insertion has over the generated sequence.
