Abstract
These days, home appliances in our living environment are becoming full of functions. On the other hand, the increase of their functions makes their operation complicated. Therefore, an intelligent room which recognizes gestures and support operators is required in various places in recent years. In this paper, we propose a method to recognize mouth motion from images. The proposed method uses template matching and recognizes mouth motion for indicating a target object in an intelligent room. DP matching is applied to similarity measure obtained by template matching. Several experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
