Real-Time Static Hand Gesture Recognition Using MATLAB

This paper proposes static hand gesture recognition that generally consists of recognizing the pre-defined hand signs. Since it is hard for people with disabilities to communicate and providing special training for learning hand gestures communication is a tedious process, hand gesture recognition will decrease the labour. The algorithm is based on segmentation of the image using background subtraction. The aim of this paper is to yield a system of recognition that is efficient and reliable along being cost-effective.
