Abstract

Dynamic hand gesture recognition is of great importance in human-computer interaction. In this study, the authors investigate the effect of sparsity-driven time-frequency analysis on hand gesture classification. The time-frequency spectrogram is first obtained by sparsity-driven time-frequency analysis. Then three empirical micro-Doppler features are extracted from the time-frequency spectrogram and a support vector machine is used to classify six kinds of dynamic hand gestures. The experimental results on measured data demonstrate that, compared to traditional time-frequency analysis techniques, sparsity-driven time-frequency analysis provides improved accuracy and robustness in dynamic hand gesture classification.
