In this paper, we review the major approaches to multimodal human–computer interaction,
giving an overview of the field from a computer vision perspective. In particular, we focus on …

Within the context of hand gesture recognition, spatiotemporal gesture segmentation is the
task of determining, in a video sequence, where the gesturing hand is located and when the …

In recent years, research efforts seeking to provide more natural, human-centered means of
interacting with computers have gained growing interest. A particularly important direction is …

Unlike general gestures, Sign Languages (SLs) are highly structured so that it provides an
appealing test bed for understanding more general principles for hand shape, location and …

In recent years, the field of Universal Access has made significant progress in consolidating

A new, linguistically annotated, video database for automatic sign language recognition is
presented. The new RWTH-BOSTON-400 corpus, which consists of 843 sentences, several …

A method is proposed for indexing spaces with arbitrary distance measures, so as to
achieve efficient approximate nearest neighbor retrieval. Hashing methods, such as locality …
