Abstract

This study presents a method for recognizing six predefined gestures using data collected with a wrist-worn triaxial accelerometer. The aim of the study is to design a gesture recognition-based control system for a simple user interface. The recognition is done by matching the shapes that user’s movements cause to acceleration signals to predefined time series templates describing gestures. In this study matching is done by using three different trajectory distance measures, the results show that the weighted double fold gives the best results. The superiority of this distance measure was shown using a statistical significance test. A user-dependent version of the method recognizes gestures with accuracy of 94.3% and a recognition rate of the user-independent version is 85.5%. This work was supported by the EU 6th Framework Program Project XPRESS.
