Abstract

This paper presents a hand shape classification approach employing multiscale template matching. The integration of background subtraction is utilized to derive a binary image of the hand object, enabling the extraction of key features such as centroid and bounding box. The methodology, while simple, demonstrates effectiveness in basic hand shape classification tasks, laying the foundation for potential applications in straightforward human-computer interaction scenarios. Experimental results highlight the system's capability in controlled environments.
