Abstract

There are increasing numbers of hand interaction 
system based on Microsoft Kinect for its providing the extra 
depth information which facilitates the hand segmentation. 
However, most of the recent papers focus on the stable hand 
recognition whose assumption can hardly be fulfilled in highly 
interactive HCI environment. We proposed a robust method to 
recognize both the moving and stable hand. We explored 
several features in both RGB and depth images based on a novel 
descriptor, and then built a feature selection model to find the 
robust features for recognition. Then, we exploited the 
hierarchical self-similarity matrix (H-SSM) to detect the 
gesture transformation to further enhancing the system 
robustness. Our method can be widely used in gesture 
recognition and the effectiveness has been verified through 
experiment.
