Abstract. Hand posture recognition is an active research topic in com-puter vision and robotics with many applications ranging from auto-matic sign language recognition to human-system interaction. Recently,we have proposed a new descriptor for hand representation based on thekernel method (KDES) [1]. Our new descriptor inherits the main idea ofKDES but we proposed three improvements to make it more robust. Oneof the improvements was that we introduced a new hand pyramid struc-ture [14]. Intuitively, hand pyramid is more suitable to hand structurethan conventional pyramid. In our previous work, we have demonstratedthat the combination of improvements to KDES gives more accuratehand posture classification than using original KDES. However, it stilllacks discussions and experimental evidences of the contribution of handpyramid for hand representation. In this paper, we build specific handdataset and conduct more experiments to show how hand pyramid con-tributes for hand representation. We will discuss deeply on the resultsand analyze the impact of this pyramid on hand posture classification.

1 Introduction

Vision-based hand posture recognition plays an important role in natural human-machine interaction. Hand posture recognition takes a hand region image as aresult of hand detection step and returns a label of hand posture. Challenges tovision-based hand posture recognition are the following: (i) vision-based handposture recognition is affected by changes in lighting condition, cluttered back-grounds, and changes in scale; (ii) hand is a deformable object; there exist aconsiderable number of mutually similar hand postures; (iii) applications usinghand posture generally require real-time, user-independent recognition.

A number of hand recognition methods have been proposed to address thesechallenges [4,10,17,18]. These methods can be divided into two main categoriesdepending how the hand is represented: explicit or implicit. Implicit representa-tion relies on visual features which are computed directly from pixel values orreflect the relationship between pixels or regions. Simplest features are raw valuesof pixels. In this case, the image is often shaped into a 1D vector as the featurevector [12,13]. The using of raw pixel values makes high dimensionality of featurevector. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is usually used [12,23] for dimen-sion reduction. Instead of using directly pixel values, some other extract visualfeatures that reflect relationship between pixels or regions. One of the popularfeatures is extracted from Gabor filter [9]. Besides, many researchers also haveemployed Haar-like features [16,21,22]. Some other proposed to represent handsby orientation histogram [8], local binary pattern (LBP) [7] or SIFT [6] features.

The implicit hand representation methods do not reflect the structure of thehand. These methods hence do not take advantages of the specific structureof the hand. Some method using SIFT feature obtains good results on specificdatasets that can provide a rich set of key points. However, when the resolutionof hand image is low, the extracted set of key points is poor. In this situation,the method using SIFT feature will obtain a bad performance.

Explicit representation of hand bases on intuitive features. The methodsbelonging to this category often require good hand segmentation results toextract hand shape features (for example edges, contours) or topographicalfeatures such as fingers. Shape and topographical features are good for handposture representation if we can segment well the hand region from the image[3,11,16,19,20]. However, hand segmentation is still a challenge in the real envi-ronment. Hand representation methods belonging to explicit presentation app-roach are intuitive and easy to understand for hand posture representation. How-ever, these methods require a good hand segmentation result such as a clear handcontour. There was not a good combination between implicit and explicit repre-sentation. Some method used both of implicit and explicit features. Nevertheless,to use explicit features, we still need a good segmentation.

In our previous work [14], we proposed a method for hand presentation that is aflexible combination of implicit and explicit representation approaches. This handrepresentation method bases on kernel descriptor (KDES) [1]. We have made threeimprovements of KDES to make our descriptor more robust to orientation, scalechange. One of the improvements was that we introduced a new pyramid structurewhich is intuitively more suitable to hand structure. However, we did not evaluatethe impact of hand pyramid individually. In this paper, we build specific handdataset and conduct more experiments to show how hand pyramid contributes forhand representation. We will discuss deeply on the results and analyze the impactof this pyramid on hand posture classification.

The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. The Sect. 2 reviews ourmethod for hand posture recognition using the kernel method with hand pyramidstructure. We then give some discussions and an evaluation of hand pyramidstructure in the Sect. 3. The conclusions and directions for future work are givenin the Sect. 4.

2 Hand Representation Using Hand Pyramid Structure

In [14], hand representation takes a hand region image (from now on calledimage, for short) as input and returns a descriptor of the hand candidate. It iscomposed of three sub-steps: Pixel-level feature extraction, Patch-level featureextraction, Image-level feature extraction.

2.1 Extraction of Pixel-Level Features

At pixel level, a normalized gradient vector is computed for each pixel of theimage. The normalized gradient vector at a pixel z is defined by its magnitudem(z) and normalized orientation ω(z) = θ(z) − θ(P ), where θ(z) is orientationof gradient vector at the pixel z, and θ(P ) is the dominant orientation of thepatch P that is the vector sum of all the gradient vectors in the patch. Thisnormalization will make patch-level features invariant to rotation. In practice,the normalized orientation of a gradient vector will be:

ω(z) = [sin(ω(z)) cos(ω(z))] (1)

2.2 Extraction of Patch-Level Features

Patch-level features are computed based on the idea of the kernel method.Derived from a match kernel representing the similarity of two patches, we canextract the feature vector for the patch using an approximate patch-level featuremap, given a designed patch level match kernel function.

The gradient match kernel is constructed from three kernels that are gradientmagnitude kernel km, orientation kernel ko and position kernel kp. Gradientmatch kernel is defined as follows:

Kgradient(P,Q) =∑

z∈P

z′∈Q

km(z, z′)ko(ω(z), ω(z′))kp(z, z′) (2)

where P and Q are patches of two different images that we need to measurethe similarity. z and z′ denote the 2D position of a pixel in the image patch Pand Q.

The gradient magnitude kernel km is defined as:

km(z, z′) = m(z)m(z′) (3)

Where the normalized gradient magnitude m(z) is defined as:

m(z) =m(z)

√∑

z∈P m(z)2 + εg(4)

where εg is a small constant. m(z) is magnitude of the image gradient at a pixelz. The gradient magnitude kernel km is conspicuously a positive definite kernel.

Both the orientation kernel ko and the position kernel kp are Gaussian kernelswhich is of the form:

k(x, x′) = exp(−γ‖x − x′‖2) (5)

The factor γ will be defined individually for ko and kp that are denoted byγo and γp respectively.

Given the definition of match kernel, the approximate feature over imagepatch P is constructed as:

F gradient(P ) =∑

z∈P

m(z)φo(ω(z)) ⊗ φp(z) (6)

where ⊗ is the Kronecker product, φo(ω(z)) and φp(z) are approximate featuremaps for the kernel ko and kp, respectively. Given a match kernel function k(x, y),the feature map ϕ(.) for the kernel k(x, y) is a function mapping a vector xinto a feature space so as k(x, y) = ϕ(x)�ϕ(y). Suppose that we have a set ofbasis vectors B = {ϕ(vi)}Di=1, the approximation of feature map ϕ(x) will beφ(x) = GkB(x), where G is defined by: G�G = K−1

BB and KBB is D × D matrixwith {KBB}ij = k(vi, vj). kB is a D × 1 vector with {kB}i = k(x, vi).

The Kronecker product causes high dimension of the feature vector F gradient

(P ). To reduce the dimension of F gradient, the kernel principal component analy-sis is applied into the joint basis vectors {ϕo(xi) ⊗ ϕp(yj)}i=1..do,j=1..dp

. Let t-thcomponent αt

ij is learned through kernel principal component analysis, following[1], the resulting gradient kernel descriptor for match kernel in (2) has the form:

2.3 Extraction of Image-Level Features Using Hand PyramidStructure

Once patch-level features are computed for each patch, the remaining work iscomputing a feature vector representing the whole image. In [2], the authors useda spatial pyramid structure by dividing the image into cells using horizontal andvertical lines at several layers (Fig. 1(a)). This structure is generic, therefore doesnot take into account the specific shape of objects. In our work, as the hand is anobject with a specific structure, we proposed a new pyramid structure specificallyfor the hand. In the following, we present in detail each step to build the finaldescriptor of the image.

Design a Hand Specific Pyramid Structure for Patch-Level FeaturesPooling: Fig. 1(b) shows the proposed hand pyramid structure. The main ideais to exploit characteristics of hand postures. Let the hand posture image have asize of w×h. We observe that the regions at the image corners often do not con-tain information. For this reason, we only consider the area inside the inscribed

ellipse of the hand image rectangle bounding box (e3). The lines along the fingersconverge at the lowest center point of the palm, near the wrist (O). Based on thestructure of the hand, the ellipses (e1, e2, e3) and the lines (OA,OB,OC,OD)are used to divide the hand region into parts that contain different componentsof the hand such as palm and fingers where AB = BC = CD. The detail ofdesigned structure is described as: O is the midpoint of FE(OF = OE). Theellipse e1 is the inscribed ellipse of the rectangle that has a size of ( 12w × 1

2h).The line FE is a tangent line of the ellipse e1. The contact between the line FEand the ellipse e1 is O. The ellipses are axis-aligned. In the similarity, the ellipsise2 is the inscribed ellipsis of the rectangle that has size of ( 34w × 3

4h).In a layer, we define a cell as being a full region limited by these ellipses and

lines. In our work, the hand pyramid structure has 3 layers, (see Fig. 2).

– Layer 1: This layer contains only one cell defined by the biggest inscribedellipse e3.

– Layer 2: In [1], this layer has four rectangular cells. Unlike this, we createeight cells: three cells created from 3 ellipses and five cells created from theintersection of four lines with the biggest ellipse.

– Layer 3: This layer has 15 cells generated from the intersection between linesand three ellipses.

We can see that the hand pyramid gives a suitable representation for uprightfrontal hand postures in that the difference between postures is the configurationof the fingers (open or closed). In addition, the proposed hand representation hasanother advantage that is the image level feature is more invariant to slightlyrotation/finger distortion. The reason of this ability is that the feature vectorof a cell in pyramid is computed based on the set of feature vectors of patchesbelonging to the cell without concerning the locations of patches in the cell.

Moreover, the patch level feature is invariant to rotation. In case of our con-straints (upright frontal hand postures with slightly rotation/finger distortion),the hand pyramid with normalized orientation gradient in the patch is suitablefor hand representation, see Fig. 3(a,b). When hands strongly rotate or fingersheavily distort that make the same finger (or part of hand) in two hand imagesbelongs to different cells in pyramid, above advantages of proposed hand pre-sentation are not shown, see Fig. 3(c,d). In the case of strong rotation of hand,we could normalize hand image before applying hand pyramid.

Create the Final Descriptor of the Whole Image: To create the finaldescriptor of the whole image, we firstly use efficient match kernels (EMK) pro-posed in [1] to compute the feature vector for each cell of the hand pyramidstructure, and then concatenate them into a final descriptor. Let C be a cellthat has a set of patch-level features X = {x1, ..., xp} then the feature map onthis set of vectors is defined as:

φS(X) =1

|X|∑

x∈X

φ(x) (8)

where φ(x) is approximate feature maps for the kernel k(x, y). The feature vectoron the set of patches, φS(X), is extracted explicitly.

Given an image, let L be the number of spatial layers to be considered. In thiscase L = 3. The number of cells in layer l -th is (nl). X(l, t) is set of patch-levelfeatures falling within the spatial cell (l, t) (cell t-th in the l -th level). A patchis fallen in a cell when its centroid belongs to the cell. The feature map on thepyramid structure is:

φP (X) = [w(1)φS(X(1,1)); ...;w(l)φS(X(l,t)); ...;w(L)φS(X(L,nL))] (9)

In (9), w(l) =1nl

Figure 2 shows image-level feature extraction on the proposed hand pyramidstructure. Until now, we obtain the final representation of the whole image, whichwe call image-level feature vector. This vector will be the input of a MulticlassSVM for training and testing.

3 Experimental Evaluation

3.1 Dataset

In order to evaluate the impact of hand pyramid structure on hand representa-tion, we build a dataset that is a subset of L3i-MICA dataset [15]. This subsetcontains 13 upright frontal hand postures in that the difference between posturesis the configuration of the fingers (open or closed), Fig. 4. In this dataset, handposture images are captured in complex natural backgrounds. The hand regionsare segmented manually. The number of training samples is 2859, and the num-ber of testing samples is 2924. With this dataset, the accuracy we obtain incase of hand pyramid structure is 88.4 %, while the accuracy in case of generalpyramid structure is 86.4 %. Hand pyramid structure makes the performanceof hand posture recognition better (the accuracy increases 2 %). Thus we canremark that hand pyramid structure is suitable for upright frontal hand postureswith open and closed fingers.

4 Conclusions and Future Works

In this paper, we studied deeply the hand pyramid structure for hand represen-tation in kernel method. We demonstrate empirically that our proposed handpyramid is more suitable than general pyramid for hand posture recognition.This hand pyramid structure can be applied to detect open/closed fingers. Inthe future, we will evaluate hand pyramid structure with a more challengingdataset as well as a human-machine interaction using hand gestures.
