A Survey of Hand Posture Estimation Techniques and Optimisation Algorithms

This chapter reviews a wide range of relevant works in the literature of two fields: hand posture estimation and evolutionary stochastic optimisation. Since this book contributes to the field of hand posture estimation, this chapter analyses the literature of hand posture estimation and highlights the gaps as well. The logical order of sections is illustrated in Fig. 2.1.
