Abstract
This paper describes a real time gesture recognition methodfor interactive systems. Our method can recognize gesture robustlyin a variety of real complex environments. For the robust gesture recognition, our method performs an interactive model generationbefore the recognition processing, and an individual gesture model is constructedby the interaction between a user and the computer. The individual gesture model is based on the template matching technique andit is constituted by the set of color template images which represent a set of specific poses of human part in a gesture. Using our method, we realize a real time interactive system, the Gesture Game System, which can activate the characters of video game by gestures in real-timeand indicates the usefulness of our method.
