Abstract
With the increase of research activities in vision-based hand posture and gesture
recognition, new methods and algorithms are being developed. Although less attention is
being paid to developing a standard platform for this purpose. Developing a database of
hand gesture images is a necessary first step for standardizing the research on hand gesture
recognition. For this purpose, we have developed an image database of hand posture and
gesture images. The database contains hand images in different lighting conditions and
collected using a digital camera. Details of the automatic segmentation and clipping of the
hands are also discussed in this paper.
