This example aimed to provide a good classifier that was able to recognise a flat contract palm in videos, but the results, as demonstrated in the haar performance evaluation, turned out quite disappointed. Here I list the details of this example, including the first stage of sampler extract, creating samples, training samples, and the final evaluation.

Progresses in training a classifier for hand gesture recognition is never an easy job, one of the difficulties that needs to overcome is the collection of sample images, both positive and negative. Collecting thousands of sample pictures for each hand gesture is a huge task that requires enormous time and energy on this. Also, inviting so many users to give hand gesture pictures seems a big challenge.

Give me your hands!!!
As a new hand gesture recognition project is launched recently, there is a strong need to collect a big number of good quality hand pictures – it is a pity I have only two hands. So I need your hands, do not worry, I am not using that for criminal purposes nor for dangerous operations, just need some pictures to train my programme to be capable to recognise beautiful hands like yours.
And the most important thing is, you will be paid to contributing your hand or other people’s high quality pictures of hand. The requirements are simple as follows.

A new project launching of hand gesture recognition in gstreamer – as the proposal to developing a gstreamer plugin for accurate hand gesture recognition in multimedia streams has been accepted successfully, more practical activities are going to start soon. The expected results of this project is to develop a gstreamer plugin that is capable to support hand gesture index in video streams, also, recognising real time hand gestures in live video stream, thus enabling developers to build up advanced applications such like video playing control using fingers.

Why mapping hand gestures to system mouse pointer controls?
Hand gesture recognition, including hand gestures and movements, is becoming increasingly attractive. Many people are currently working on it to achieve natural interaction. One important step between hand gesture recognition and natural-interaction applications is to map detected hand gestures to system mouse pointer control. In one of previous articles here.

When I was building up a new silverlight project based on existing silverlight 3d template, I met a problem that said ‘error : Unable to read the project file ‘OverlappingTabs.cspro … C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight\v4.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.CSharp.targets” was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.’
