ABSTRACT

We present the LaRED, a Large RGB-D Extensible hand gesture Dataset, recorded with an Intel's newly-developed short range depth camera. This dataset is unique and differs from the existing ones in several aspects. Firstly, the large volume of data recorded: 243, 000 tuples where each tuple is composed of a color image, a depth image, and a mask of the hand region. Secondly, the number of different classes provided: a total of 81 classes (27 gestures in 3 different rotations). Thirdly, the extensibility of dataset: the software used to record and inspect the dataset is also available, giving the possibility for future users to increase the number of data as well as the number of gestures. Finally, in this paper, some experiments are presented to characterize the dataset and establish a baseline as the start point to develop more complex recognition algorithms. The LaRED dataset is publicly available at: http://mclab.citi.sinica.edu.tw/dataset/lared/lared.html.
