This study proposes a gesture-based home appliance operation system that can support multiple users. In recent years, increasing complexity of home appliances has led to interest in gesture-based operation. Many systems have been developed to operate home appliances by recognizing gestures from camera images. However, conventional systems require an operator to memorize a large number of gestures and have problems of misoperation. To solve these problems, the proposed system introduces an operator specific command space and a start gesture. The effectiveness of the proposed system was verified by experiments, with an average recognition rate of around 95 %. This ensures that the system can be used by multiple operators.
