Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing viruses and infections. Due to the pervasive outbreak of COVID-19, wearing a mask and hand hygiene appear to be the most effective ways for the public to curb the spread of these viruses. The World…
In this work, an extensive review of literature in the field of gesture recognition carried out along with the implementation of a simple classification system for hand hygiene stages based on deep learning solutions. A subset of robust…
In this work, deep learning models are applied to a segment of a robust hand-washing dataset that has been created with the help of 30 volunteers. This work demonstrates the classification of presence of one hand, two hands and no hand in…
Young children are at an increased risk of contracting contagious diseases such as COVID-19 due to improper hand hygiene. An autonomous social agent that observes children while handwashing and encourages good hand washing practices could…
Current guidelines from the World Health Organization indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which results in the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is transmitted through respiratory droplets or by contact. Contact transmission…
Hand hygiene is among the most effective daily practices for preventing infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, and skin infections. While professional guidelines emphasize proper handwashing to reduce the risk of viral infections,…
There are six, well-structured hand gestures for washing hands as provided by World Health Organisation guidelines. In this paper, hand features such as contours of the hands, the centroid of the hands, and extreme hand points along the…
Hand hygiene is a standard six-step hand-washing action proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there is no good way to supervise medical staff to do hand hygiene, which brings the potential risk of disease spread.…
This paper presents a comparison of various deep learning models such as Exception, Resnet-50, and Inception V3 for the classification and prediction of hand hygiene gestures, which were recorded in accordance with the World Health…
The recent ongoing coronavirus pandemic highlights the importance of hand hygiene practices in our daily lives, with governments and worldwide health authorities promoting good hand hygiene practices. More than one million cases of…
Hand detection is essential for many hand related tasks, e.g. parsing hand pose, understanding gesture, which are extremely useful for robotics and human-computer interaction. However, hand detection in uncontrolled environments is…
The process of hand washing involves complex hand movements. There are six principal sequential steps for washing hands as per the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines. In this work, a detailed description of an aluminium rig…
Washing hands properly and frequently is the simplest and most cost-effective interventions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. People are often ignorant about proper handwashing in different situations and do not know if they…
Hand hygiene is one of the most significant factors in preventing hospital acquired infections (HAI) which often be transmitted by medical staffs in contact with patients in the operating room (OR). Hand hygiene monitoring could be…
A formal autism diagnosis can be an inefficient and lengthy process. Families may wait months or longer before receiving a diagnosis for their child despite evidence that earlier intervention leads to better treatment outcomes. Digital…
We propose a method for extracting very accurate masks of hands in egocentric views. Our method is based on a novel Deep Learning architecture: In contrast with current Deep Learning methods, we do not use upscaling layers applied to a…
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended wearing face masks as one of the most effective measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission. In many countries, it is now mandatory to wear face masks, specially in public places. Since…
Hand gesture is one of the most important means of touchless communication between human and machines. There is a great interest for commanding electronic equipment in surgery rooms by hand gesture for reducing the time of surgery and the…
Our team are developing a new online test that analyses hand movement features associated with ageing that can be completed remotely from the research centre. To obtain hand movement features, participants will be asked to perform a variety…
A health crisis is raging all over the world with the rapid transmission of the novel-coronavirus disease (Covid-19). Out of the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to protect us against Covid-19, wearing a facemask is…
