A marker-less two-hand gesture recognition system using kinect depth camera

This paper presents a marker-less two-hand gesture recognition system based on Kinect. Using the depth and skeleton from Kinect, mark-less hand extraction is achieved. Finger Earth Mover's Distance (FEMD) is then applied as the measurement to recognize the gestures, with the help of a new morphological finger extraction method. A two-hand based user interface is designed and implemented to provide intuitive and robust human-computer interaction. The effectiveness of the proposed gesture recognition algorithm and UI system is illustrated by experimental results.
