Self-Organizing Maps-Based Japanese Flag Signaling Recognition by Using Kinect

Abstract

This paper proposes the Japanese flag signaling recognition method based on self-organizing maps, and describes its evaluation result. Kinect, which is one of the consumer sensor device and was used in the previous studies of Ahmed et al. and Ishikawa, was adopted as the input device in this study. The proposed method is able to recognize the Japanese flag signaling with higher recognition rate than that of the previous studies in which Kinect was used.
