A novel multiset integrated canonical correlation analysis framework and its application in feature fusion

Multiset canonical correlation analysis (MCCA) is difficult to effectively express the integrated correlation among multiple feature vectors in feature fusion. Thus, this paper firstly presents a novel multiset integrated canonical correlation analysis (MICCA) framework. The MICCA establishes a discriminant correlation criterion function of multi-group variables based on generalized correlation coefficient. The criterion function can clearly depict the integrated correlation among multiple feature vectors. Then the paper presents a multiple feature fusion theory and algorithm using the MICCA method. The detailed process of the algorithm is as follows: firstly, extract multiple feature vectors from the same patterns by using different feature extraction methods; then extract multiset integrated canonical correlation features using MICCA; finally form effective discriminant feature vectors through two given feature fusion strategies for pattern classification. The multi-group feature fusion method based on MICCA not only achieves the aim of feature fusion, but also removes the redundancy between features. The experiment results on CENPARMI handwritten Arabic numerals and UCI multiple features database show that the MICCA method has better recognition rates and robustness than the fusion methods based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and MCCA.

Feature fusion for 3D hand gesture recognition by learning a shared hidden space

Hand gesture recognition has been intensively applied in various human-computer interaction (HCI) systems. Different hand gesture recognition methods were developed based on particular features, e.g., gesture trajectories and acceleration signals. However, it has been noticed that the limitation of either features can lead to flaws of a HCI system. In this paper, to overcome the limitations but combine the merits of both features, we propose a novel feature fusion approach for 3D hand gesture recognition. In our approach, gesture trajectories are represented by the intersection numbers with randomly generated line segments on their 2D principal planes, acceleration signals are represented by the coefficients of discrete cosine transformation (DCT). Then, a hidden space shared by the two features is learned by using penalized maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). An iterative algorithm, composed of two steps per iteration, is derived to for this penalized MLE, in which the first step is to solve a standard least square problem and the second step is to solve a Sylvester equation. We tested our hand gesture recognition approach on different hand gesture sets. Results confirm the effectiveness of the feature fusion method.     

HEGM: A hierarchical elastic graph matching for hand gesture recognition

A hierarchical scheme for elastic graph matching applied to hand gesture recognition is proposed. The proposed algorithm exploits the relative discriminatory capabilities of visual features scattered on the images, assigning the corresponding weights to each feature. A boosting algorithm is used to determine the structure of the hierarchy of a given graph. The graph is expressed by annotating the nodes of interest over the target object to form a bunch graph. Three annotation techniques, manual, semi-automatic, and automatic annotation are used to determine the position of the nodes. The scheme and the annotation approaches are applied to explore the hand gesture recognition performance. A number of filter banks are applied to hand gestures images to investigate the effect of using different feature representation approaches. Experimental results show that the hierarchical elastic graph matching (HEGM) approach classified the hand posture with a gesture recognition accuracy of 99.85% when visual features were extracted by utilizing the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) representation. The results also provide the performance measures from the aspect of recognition accuracy to matching benefits, node positions correlation and consistency on three annotation approaches, showing that the semi-automatic annotation method is more efficient and accurate than the other two methods.

Hand gesture recognition based on concentric circular scan lines and weighted K-nearest neighbor algorithm

Human-computer interactions based on hand gestures are of the most popular natural interactive modes, which severely depends on real-time hand gesture recognition approaches. In this paper, a simple but effective hand feature extraction method is described, and the corresponding hand gesture recognition method is proposed. First, based on a simple tortoise model, we segment the human hand images by skin color features and tags on the wrist, and normalize them to create the training dataset. Second, feature vectors are computed by drawing concentric circular scan lines (CCSL) according to the center of the palm, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm is used to deal with those vectors. Last, a weighted k-nearest neighbor (W-KNN) algorithm is presented to achieve real-time hand gesture classification and recognition. Besides the efficiency and effectiveness, we make sure that the whole gesture recognition system can be easily implemented and extended. Experimental results with a user-defined hand gesture dataset and multi-projector display system show the effectiveness and efficiency of the new approach.
