Gesture recognition using hmm

We propose a technique for direct visual matching of images for the purposes of Gesture Recognition and image retrieval using HMM (Hidden Markov Model)[1]. A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a statistical model where the system being modelled is assumed to be a Markov process with unknown parameters, and the challenge is to determine the hidden parameters, from the observable parameters, based on this assumption. The extracted model parameters can then be used to perform further analysis, for example, for Gesture Recognition [2] applications.
