Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for the detection and extraction of shape feature for fingerspelling recognition using boundary tracing and chain code. The method includes several steps such as conversion of RGB to YCbCr color space of an image and segmentation of skin pixel regions using thresholding method in order to construct binary images. Edge detection is applied and the location of candidate fingertips is estimated based on boundary tracing process and local extrema. The modified 2D chain code algorithm is then applied to the edge image to extract the fingerspelling shape feature and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used for the classification task. The experimental findings show that the accuracy of the proposed method is 97.75% and 96.48% for alphabets and numbers, respectively.
