Comparison of Hand Feature Points Detection Methods

This paper presents the research and comparison of four methods of hand characteristic points detection. Each method was implemented and modified in order to test their capabilities on database for hand gesture recognition. All methods are explained, tested and compared to others with other leading to final remarks. The main purpose of the research is to choose the best algorithm giving the most information about human hand that would lead to create a human – computer interaction program.
