Abstract

A technique is presented which combines rule-based and neural network pattern recognition methods in an integrated system in order to perform learning and recognition of hand-written characters and gestures in realtime.

The GesRec system is introduced which provides a framework for data acquisition, training, recognition, and gesture-to-speech transcription in a Windows environment.

A recognition accuracy of 92.5% was obtained for the hybrid system, compared to 89.6% for the neural network only and 82.7% for rules only. Training and recognition times are given for an able-bodied and a disabled user.
