Image enhancement for hand sign detection

This paper proposes compact hand extraction to assist in computerized handshape recognition. We devised an image enhancement technique based on singular value decomposition to remove dark backgrounds by reserving the skin color pixels of a hand image. The polynomial approximation YCbCr color model was then used to extract the hand. After alignment, we applied illumination compensation to the adaptable singular value decomposition. Experimental results for images from our database showed that our method functioned more efficiently than conventional ones that do not use compact hand extraction against complex scenes.
