Head and eye egocentric gesture recognition for human-robot interaction using eyewear cameras. (arXiv:2201.11500v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

Non-verbal communication plays a particularly important role in a wide range
of scenarios in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Accordingly, this work addresses
the problem of human gesture recognition. In particular, we focus on head and
eye gestures, and adopt an egocentric (first-person) perspective using eyewear
cameras. We argue that this egocentric view may offer a number of conceptual
and technical benefits over scene- or robot-centric perspectives. A
motion-based recognition approach is proposed, which operates at two temporal
granularities. Locally, frame-to-frame homographies …
