A Survey of Datasets for Human Gesture Recognition

This paper presents a survey on datasets created for the field of gesture recognition. The main characteristics of the datasets are presented on two tables to provide researchers a clear and rapid access to the information. This paper also provides a comprehensive description of the datasets and discusses their general strengths and limitations. Guidelines for creation and selection of datasets for gesture recognition are proposed. This survey should be a key-access point for researchers looking to create or use datasets in the field of human gesture recognition.
