An overview of gesture recognition

Abstract

With the development of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction technology, gesture has been widely used in intelligent vehicles, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, and other fields as an important way of communication in people’s daily life. However, there are few review studies that comprehensively evaluate and summarize gesture recognition in recent years. To address this situation, this paper classifies and summarizes the currently used gesture recognition methods. Firstly, the current status of research on static gestures is investigated, followed by an analysis of the progress of research on dynamic gesture recognition, then the commonly used gesture datasets are introduced and their respective characteristics are described, finally, the current challenges and future development trends of gesture recognition are analyzed.
