CaptAinGlove: Capacitive and Inertial Fusion-Based Glove for Real-Time on Edge Hand Gesture Recognition for Drone Control

원문 초록

We present CaptAinGlove, a textile-based, low-power (1.15Watts), privacy-conscious, real-time on-the-edge (RTE) glove-based solution with a tiny memory footprint (2MB), designed to recognize hand gestures used for drone control. We employ lightweight convolutional neural networks as the backbone models and a hierarchical multimodal fusion to reduce power consumption and improve accuracy. The system yields an F1-score of 80% for the offline evaluation of nine classes; eight hand gesture commands and null activity. For the RTE, we obtained an F1-score of 67% (one user).
