Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a hand waving gesture recognition method using a far-infrared sensor array. A far-infrared sensor array captures the spatial distribution of temperature as a thermal image by detecting far-infrared waves emitted from heat sources. It has an advantage of being able to capture the human position and movement while protecting the privacy of the target individual. However, it is difficult to recognize a gesture from the thermal images due to its low-resolution. Therefore, the proposed method matches a reference and an input data only in a restricted gesture area. Also, to reduce the influence of other heat sources, the proposed method weights images according to human body temperature. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method through an experiment and discuss its result.
