ABSTRACT:
A method for extracting and matching gesture features of image is disclosed. An input gesture image is captured, and then a closed curve formed by a binary contour image of the gesture image is determined by preprocessing the gesture image. A curvature scale space (CSS) image of the gesture image is drawn based on the closed curve. Feature parameters of a plurality of sets of the gesture image are determined by extracting first plural peaks from the CSS image as basis points, and each feature parameter of the plurality of sets of the gesture image is compared with each feature parameter of a plurality of reference gesture shapes represented as a basis point of the maximal peak, thereby determining a gesture shape corresponding to the gesture image.
