Motor-Unit Ordering of Blindly-Separated Surface-EMG Signals for Gesture Recognition

Hand gestures are one of the most natural and expressive way for humans to convey information, and thus hand gesture recognition has become a research hotspot in the human-machine interface (HMI) field. In particular, biological signals such as surface ele ...

A Case for the Design of Attention and Gesture Systems for Social Robots

Barbara Bruno, Utku Norman, Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Romain Maure, Erik Alessandro Wengle

The success of social robots, even (or, especially) in use cases as simple as "manning" a booth to promote a product in a shopping mall, depends on their ability of interacting with humans in a timely, effective and enjoyable way. In this paper we present ...

A Wearable Smart Glove and Its Application of Pose and Gesture Detection to Sign Language Classification

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Advances in soft sensors coupled with machine learning are enabling increasingly capable wearable systems. Since hand motion in particular can convey useful information for developing intuitive interfaces, glove-based systems can have a significant impact ...

Learning, Generating and Adapting Wave Gestures for Expressive Human-Robot Interaction

Sylvain Calinon

This study proposes a novel imitation learning approach for the stochastic generation of human-like rhythmic wave gestures and their modulation for effective non-verbal communication through a probabilistic formulation using joint angle data from human dem ...

An HMM Approach with Inherent Model Selection for Sign Language and Gesture Recognition

Mathew Magimai Doss, Oya Aran, Sandrine Tornay

HMMs have been the one of the first models to be applied for sign recognition and have become the baseline models due to their success in modeling sequential and multivariate data. Despite the extensive use of HMMs for sign recognition, determining the HMM ...

Jointly Optimizing Sensing Pipelines for Multimodal Mixed Reality Interaction

Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

Natural human interactions for Mixed Reality Applications are overwhelmingly multimodal: humans communicate intent and instructions via a combination of visual, aural and gestural cues. However, supporting low-latency and accurate comprehension of such mul ...

Benchmarking Touchscreen Biometrics for Mobile Authentication

We study user interaction with touchscreens based on swipe gestures for personal authentication. This approach has been analyzed only recently in the last few years in a series of disconnected and limited works. We summarize those recent efforts and then c ...

Social babbling: The emergence of symbolic gestures and words

Aude Billard, Laura Bénédicte Marine Cohen

Language acquisition theories classically distinguish passive language understanding from active language production. However, recent findings show that brain areas such as Broca's region are shared in language understanding and production. Furthermore, th ...

GestureGAN for Hand Gesture-to-Gesture Translation in the Wild

Yan Yan, Wei Wang

Hand gesture-to-gesture translation in the wild is a challenging task since hand gestures can have arbitrary poses, sizes, locations and self-occlusions. Therefore, this task requires a high-level understanding of the mapping between the input source gestu ...

Tree-structured Classifier for Acceleration-based Activity and Gesture Recognition on Smartwatches

Karl Aberer, Julien Eberle, Dipanjan Chakraborty

This paper proposes a new method for recognizing both activities and gestures by using acceleration data collected on a smartwatch. While both activity recognition techniques and gesture recognition techniques employ acceleration data, these techniques are ...

Visual Augmentation of Deictic Gestures in MOOC Videos

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma

We present an eye-tracking study to compare different modalities for visual augmentations of the teacher’s explicit deictic gestures on a video lecture. We compared three visualizations: 1) hand gestures with a pointer, 2) gaze overlay, and 3) no-augmentat ...

Kinect=IMU? Learning MIMO Signal Mappings to Automatically Translate Activity Recognition Systems Across Sensor Modalities

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Hesam Sagha, Daniel Roggen

We propose a method to automatically translate a pre-existing activity recognition system, devised for a source sensor domain S, so that it can operate on a newly discovered target sensor domain T , possibly of different modality. First, we use MIMO system ...

Learning and reproduction of gestures by imitation: An approach based on Hidden Markov Model and Gaussian Mixture Regression

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon, Eric Sauser, Florent D'Halluin

We present a probabilistic approach to learn robust models of human motion through imitation. The association of Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) and dynamical systems allows us to extract redundancies across multiple demonstrat ...
