• Abstract: Any spatio-temporal movement or reorientation of the hand, done with the intention of conveying a specific meaning, can be considered as a hand gesture. Inputs to hand gesture recognition systems can be in several forms, such as depth images, monocular RGB, or skeleton joint points. We observe that raw depth images possess low contrasts in the hand regions of interest (ROI). They do not highlight important details to learn, such as finger bending information (whether a finger is overlapping the palm, or another finger). Recently, in deep-learning--based dynamic hand gesture recognition, researchers are tying to fuse different input modalities (e.g. RGB or depth images and hand skeleton joint points) to improve the recognition accuracy. In this paper, we focus on dynamic hand gesture (DHG) recognition using depth quantized image features and hand skeleton joint points. In particular, we explore the effect of using depth-quantized features in Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based multi-modal fusion networks. We find that our method improves existing results on the SHREC-DHG-14 dataset. Furthermore, using our method, we show that it is possible to reduce the resolution of the input images by more than four times and still obtain comparable or better accuracy to that of the resolutions used in previous methods.
