This topic involves a number of difficult problems in computer vision, such as the segmentation and recognition of complex motion on videos. We use an algorithm called time-space continuous dynamic programming (TSCDP), which can realize both time- and location-free (spotting) recognition. Spotting means that the prior segmentation of input video is not required. Each reference (model) character is represented by a single stroke that is composed of pixels. We conducted two experiments involving the recognition of 26 isolated alphabetic characters and 23 Japanese hiragana and kanji air-drawn characters. We also conducted gesture recognition experiments based on TSCDP, which showed that TSCDP was free from many of the restrictions imposed by conventional methods.}, pages = {11615--11639}, title = {Time-segmentation and position-free recognition of air-drawn gestures and characters in videos}, volume = {75}, year = {2016}, yomi = {ニイツマ, ユウキ and トリイ, シュンペイ and ヤグチ, ユウイチ and オカ, リュウイチ} }
