Each of the finite state is characterized by sets of two probabilities: probability transition and either continues or discrete output probability distribution density function, which defines the probability condition of emitting symbols of output from a continuous random vector of a finite alphabet[36]. The HMM have wide range of application which includes the use of gesture representation. Nhan Nguyen, Sungyoung and Donghan[37] developed a system in which humans interact with the robots in which the robots understands the gesture and the actions it takes via the control of human hand gesture, they used two stages of HMM, firstly the HMM is used to recognize the prime command like gesture, and secondly the HMM recognizes and executes the gesture, they have included Mixed Gaussian distribution as mean of increasing the recognition rate in HMM. Another method of implementing hand gesture detection and recognition is developed by Nianjun Liu and Brain C. Lovell [38], who used sequence observation to characterize HMM states which are obtained from HMM based framework for detection and recognition of hand gesture and extraction of segmented hand image by Vector quantization and in the process of recognition system they have tried several training algorithm method for higher recognition

To me, a waving motion signifies to hurry up and could be interpreted by the patient in such a way as well. In Europe, the wave of a hand, depending on the motion, can mean the word no. Also, I found it very interesting how smiles can be used and interpreted in many different ways around the world.…
