Dynamic LIBRAS Gesture Recognition via CNN over Spatiotemporal Matrix Representation

ArXi:2603.25863v1 Announce Type: cross This paper proposes a method for dynamic hand gesture recognition based on the composition of two models: the MediaPipe Hand Landmarker, responsible for extracting 21 skeletal keypoints of the hand, and a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained to classify gestures from a spatiotemporal matrix representation of dimensions 90 by 21 of those keypoints. The method is applied to the recognition of LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language) gestures for device control in a home automation system, covering 11 classes of static and dynamic gestures.
