Hand Based Gesture Recognition inside a Car through IR-UWB Radar

Abstract

In this paper, the gesture recognition through IR-UWB radar is discussed. The gestures are made by human hand in front of the radar inside a car. The gestures can be used to control different electronics devices inside a car. The gestures vary among each other through different parameters such as change in displacement of the hand, change in magnitude and surface area of the hand. In the first part of the experiments, we train all the gestures by using neural networks and in the second part any gesture made by the human hand is compared to the gestures database and hence gesture recognition is done.
