Continuous Hand Gesture Segmentation and Co-articulation Detection

Gesture segmentation is an extremely difficult task due to both the multitude of possible gesture variations in spatio-temporal space and the co-articulation of successive gestures. In this paper, a robust framework for this problem is proposed which has been used to segment out component gestures from a continuous stream of gestures using finite state machine and motion features in a vision based platform.
