To solve the problem of hand gesture recognition precision compromise caused by complex backgrounds,lighting conditions,skin color,rotation,translation and scaling and so on,a robust and efficient real-time gesture recognition method using Kinect was proposed.Depth data and joint information of human body were obtained using a Kinect Xbox device.The features of gestures were computed and the coordinates of fingertips were tracked according to the contour of the hand gesture.In combination with the position of the skeletal joints,the hand and fingertip characteristics were calculated and ten ge...
