Gesture is an important indicator of a person's attention and communicative behavior with applications in human computer interaction (HCI) and vision systems. In recent years, vision-based gesture recognition (VGR) has become a key research topic in HCI and there are many real-life applications of VGR. Most of the recent and important applications of VGR include Sign language recognition, Virtual reality, Virtual game, Augmented reality, Smart video conferencing, Smart home and office, Healthcare and Medical assistance, Robotic surgery, Wheelchair control, Driver monitoring, Vehicle control,...

In recent years neural computing has emerged as a practical technology, with successful applications in many fields. The use of neural networks in pattern classification is becoming increasingly widespread, with applications in signal processing areas such as signal detection and classification. In this book, the signals concerned include sonar and radar ionosphere databases from the research literature. These two data sets are intentionally chosen, because they contain high dimensionality, small sample sized problem and complex decision boundaries due to overlapping clusters. Learning from...
