2011/12 Gesture Challenge - One-Shot-Learning Gesture Challenge

Track description

Every application needs a specialized gesture vocabulary. If we want gesture recognition to become part of everyday life, we need gesture recognition machines, which easily get tailored to new gesture vocabularies. This is why the focus of the challenge is on “one-shot-learning” of gestures, which means learning to recognize new categories of gestures from a single video clip of each gesture. The gestures will be drawn from a small vocabulary of gestures, generally related to a particular task, for instance, hand signals used by divers, finger codes to represent numerals, signals used by referees, or marchalling signals to guide vehicles or aircrafts.
