BHARNE %J International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology %D 2011 %I Engg Journals Publication %X Gesture recognition is an important for developing alternative human-computer interaction modalities. It enables human to interface with machine in a more natural way. For recognizing the gestures, there areseveral algorithms are available. There are several approaches for gesture recognition using MATLAB. Artificial Neural networks are flexible in a changing environment. This research paper gives the overview of ANN for gesture recognition. It also describes the process of gesture recognition using ANN %K Gesture Recognition %K Artificial Neural Network %K Histogram %K Vectorization %K Classification. %U http://www.ijest.info/docs/IJEST11-03-04-290.pdf
