Hand gestures are an effective method of communication when verbal language is not understood. This study proposes a hybrid model using deep learning and the Harris Hawks Optimization algorithm to achieve improved accuracy in hand gesture recognition.
Hand gestures are an effective method of communication, especially when we are communicating with people who cannot understand our spoken language. Furthermore, it is a key aspect to human-computer interaction. Understanding hand gestures is very important to ensure that listeners understand what speakers are attempting to communicate. Even though several researchers have proposed deep learning-based models for hand gesture recognition, the hyper-parameter tuning of these models is a relatively unexplored area. In this work, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are used to classify hand gesture images. To tune the hyper-parameters of the CNN, a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, namely, the Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithm, is used. Our in-depth comparative analysis proves that the proposed HHO-CNN hybrid model outperforms the existing models by attaining an Accuracy of 100%.
