A Bag-of-Visual-and-Depth-Words (BoVDW) model is introduced as an extension of the Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) model. State-of-the-art RGB and depth features, including a newly proposed depth descriptor, are analysed and combined in a late fusion form. The method is integrated in a Human Gesture Recognition pipeline, together with a novel probability-based Dynamic Time Warping (PDTW) algorithm which is used to perform prior segmentation of idle gestures. The proposed DTW variant uses samples of the same gesture category to build a Gaussian Mixture Model driven probabilistic model of that gesture class. Results of the whole Human Gesture Recognition pipeline in a public data set show better performance in comparison to both standard BoVW model and DTW approach.", optnote="HuPBA;MV; 605.203", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2353), last updated on Wed, 16 Jan 2019 09:24:35 +0100", doi="10.1016/j.patrec.2013.09.009", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/HBP2014.pdf:PDF" }
