The NUS hand posture datasets II

Abstract

<p> This is a 10 class hand posture dataset. The postures are shot in and around National University of Singapore (NUS), against complex natural backgrounds, with various hand shapes and sizes. The postures are performed by 40 subjects, with different ethnicities, against different complex backgrounds. The subjects include both males and females in the age range of 22 to 56 years. The subjects are asked to show the 10 hand postures, 5 times each. They are asked to loosen the hand muscle after each shot, in order to incorporate the natural variations in the postures. The dataset also consist of a set of background images which does not contain any of the hand postures. </p> <p> This dataset can be used for academic research purposes free of cost, by citing both the original article and this data package.</p> <ul> <li>Pisharady, P.K.,Vadakkepat, P.,Loh, A.P.
