Abstract
Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR), as a significant technological advancement in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), aims to develop systems capable of accurately recognizing and interpreting human gestures for a diverse range of applications, including device control, virtual reality, gesture passwords, and gesture interaction. With the continuous advancement of machine learning algorithms, especially deep learning techniques, machine learning-based gesture recognition has garnered widespread attention. This paper presents a review of the development of gesture recognition techniques from traditional approaches to the current mainstream deep learning-based methods, and outlines the challenges and technical difficulties encountered. It analyzes several of the most popular classification techniques, including Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forests, XGBoost, Support Vector Classifiers (SVCs), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Furthermore, this paper examines the application of these algorithms in both dynamic and static gesture recognition and compares their performance and suitability in different scenarios. The results demonstrate that the accuracy and robustness of gesture recognition systems can be markedly enhanced through the prudent selection and optimization of the algorithms, which serves as a valuable reference for future research and applications.
