Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Vision-based recognition systems using hand gestures to control applications like TV menus are gaining popularity in the market. To improve gesture recognition, we propose a combination of Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Distance to Border features (DtB) to recognize unicursal shapes drawn by finger motion or hand shapes such as peace sign. Two SVM models are trained and combined to classify each gesture. Our algorithm is simple, easily implemented but proper image processing for hand gestures is required before classification using the algorithm. The performance of our proposed recognition algorithm is evaluated on eight unicursal shapes and results are reported.
