Abstract

The purpose of this research was to see if Kinect sensor can recognize numeric and alphabetic characters written with the hand in the air. Kinect sensor can capture motion without the sensor device being attached to the user's body. The input screen has both modes of numerals and alphabet. The recognition rate was measured and the user wrote the numbers from zero to nine and the letters from A to Z twice. Alphabet recognition relied on Palm's Graffiti. The input numerals and alphabet were recognized by dynamic programming matching based on interstroke information. In addition, this system can perform the numeral operation, such as +, −, ×, and /. Most people are not used to writing in the air and are unfamiliar with Kinect sensor, and it takes some time to master them both. First, the user needs to become accustomed to using the sensor. Average recognition rates of 95.0% and 98.9%, respectively, were obtained for numerical and alphabetical characters.
