recognition gesture hand detection segmentation
Research gap analysis derived from 3 engineering papers in our local library.
The gap
Testing was conducted exclusively on static and dynamic hand gestures with only 20 gesture types from a controlled webcam setup; robustness evaluation is needed for real-time presentation scenarios with occlusions, fast hand movements, complex backgrounds, and varying distances from the camera.; The paper does not specify which trained model (KNN, HMM, or Markov Model) achieved the 96.5% accuracy; ablation studies comparing these three classifiers on the same hand gesture recognition task...

The paper does not specify which trained model (KNN, HMM, or Markov Model) achieved the 96.5% accuracy; ablation studies comparing these three classifiers on the same hand gesture recognition task with skin segmentation and edge detection preprocessing are missing.
