Skin color segmentation method based on mixture of gaussians and its application in learning system for finger alphabet

Published:17 June 2004Publication History

ABSTRACT

The paper deals with method used for segmentation of human skin from the image. Applications of the method are in the fields of gesture recognition, face detection or motion capture. After the detailed method description, the experimental interactive program designed for helping deaf students learn finger alphabet is presented. This program is part of the sign language system, which uses CCD camera, directed to the user hands with goal to capture the image and compute the matching of the posture with a desired shape.
