Gesture Recognition Using Template Based Random Forest Classifiers

Abstract

This paper presents a framework for spotting and recognizing continuous human gestures. Skeleton based features are extracted from normalized human body coordinates to represent gestures. These features are then used to construct spatio-temporal template based Random Decision Forest models. Finally, predictions from different models are fused at decision-level to improve overall recognition performance. Our method has shown competitive results on the ChaLearn 2014 Looking at People: Gesture Recognition dataset. Trained on a dataset of 20 gesture vocabulary and 7754 gesture samples, our method achieved a Jaccard Index of $0.74663$ on the test set, reaching 7th place among contenders. Among methods that exclusively used skeleton based features, our method obtained the highest recognition performance.
