The process of hand washing, according to the WHO, is divided into stages with clearly defined two handed dynamic gestures. In this paper, videos of hand washing experts are segmented and analyzed with the goal of extracting their…
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…
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 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.…
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…
This paper contributes a new high-quality dataset for hand gesture recognition in hand hygiene systems, named "MFH". Generally, current datasets are not focused on: (i) fine-grained actions; and (ii) data mismatch between different…
Washing hands is one of the most important ways to prevent infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Unfortunately, medical staff does not always follow the World Health Organization (WHO) hand washing guidelines in their everyday work. To…
Three popular feature descriptors of computer vision such as SIFT, SURF, and ORB compared and evaluated. The number of correct features extracted and matched for the original hand hygiene pose-Rub hands palm to palm image and rotated image.…
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…
We present in this paper a new approach for hand gesture analysis that allows digit recognition. The analysis is based on extracting a set of features from a hand image and then combining them by using an induction graph. The most important…
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…
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…
Hand washing is a crucial part of personal hygiene. Hand washing detection is a relevant topic for wearable sensing with applications in the medical and professional fields. Hand washing detection can be used to aid workers in complying…
Accurate hand joints detection from images is a fundamental topic which is essential for many applications in computer vision and human computer interaction. This paper presents a two stage network for hand joints detection from single…
We revisit the study of a wrist-mounted camera system (referred to as HandCam) for recognizing activities of hands. HandCam has two unique properties as compared to egocentric systems (referred to as HeadCam): (1) it avoids the need to…
In practical applications especially with safety requirement, some hand-held actions need to be monitored closely, including smoking cigarettes, dialing, eating, etc. Taking smoking cigarettes as example, existing smoke detection algorithms…
Manual assembly workers face increasing complexity in their work. Human-centered assistance systems could help, but object recognition as an enabling technology hinders sophisticated human-centered design of these systems. At the same time,…
In this paper, we have proposed a system based on K-L Transform to recognize different hand gestures. The system consists of five steps: skin filtering, palm cropping, edge detection, feature extraction, and classification. Firstly the hand…
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…
Hand gesture-based human-computer interaction is an important problem that is well explored using color camera data. In this work we proposed a hand gesture detection system using thermal images. Our system is capable of handling multiple…
