Static Hand Gesture Recognition Using Haar-Like Features
Hand gesture recognition plays a crucial role in communication between human and computer or robot. It is used to improve Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for the sake of making the communication more natural and much easier. Static hand gesture or posture recognition using Haar-like features is bei...
