• Abstract: Hand gesture recognition is an important aspect of human-computer interaction. It forms the basis of sign language for the visually impaired people. This work proposes a novel hand gesture recognizing system for the differently-abled persons. The model uses a convolutional neural network, known as VGG-16 net, for building a trained model on a widely used image dataset by employing Python and Keras libraries. Furthermore, the result is validated by the NUS dataset, consisting of 10 classes of hand gestures, fed to the model as the validation set. Afterwards, a testing dataset of 10 classes is built by employing Google's open source Application Programming Interface (API) that captures different gestures of human hand and the efficacy is then measured by carrying out experiments. The experimental results show that by combining a transfer learning mechanism together with the image data augmentation, the VGG-16 net produced around 98% accuracy.

  We introduce a large-scale isolated ISL dataset and a novel SL recognition model based on skeleton graph structure. The dataset covers 2002 daily used common words in the deaf community recorded by 20 (10 male and 10 female) deaf adult signers. We propose a SL recognition model namely Hierarchical Windowed Graph Attention Network (HWGAT) by utilizing the human upper body skeleton graph.

  Contactless 3D finger knuckle patterns have emerged as an effective biometric identifier due to its discriminativeness, visibility from a distance, and convenience. Recent research has developed a deep feature collaboration network which simultaneously incorporates intermediate features from deep neural networks with multiple scales. This paper advances this approach by investigating the possibility of learning a discriminative feature vector with the least possible dimension for representing 3D finger knuckle images.

• Keypoint Message Passing for Video-based Person Re-Identification [106.41022426556776]
  Video-based person re-identification (re-ID) is an important technique in visual surveillance systems which aims to match video snippets of people captured by different cameras. Existing methods are mostly based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), whose building blocks either process local neighbor pixels at a time, or, when 3D convolutions are used to model temporal information, suffer from the misalignment problem caused by person movement. In this paper, we propose to overcome the limitations of normal convolutions with a human-oriented graph method. Specifically, features located at person joint keypoints are extracted and connected as a spatial-temporal graph
