Abstract

Underwater gesture recognition has emerged as a popular research area for achieving efficient and secure underwater human-human interaction and human-robot collaboration. Previous research primarily relied on visual methods, which face challenges related to low visibility and motion blur in underwater environments. In this paper, we introduce a diving glove embedded with inertial sensors for underwater gesture recognition. The Nearest Centroid (NC), Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers are used in our diving glove. To demonstrate the underwater gesture recognition performance, we conducted a two-stage underwater experiment with ten underwater gestures. For the same user, The average recognition accuracies of the NC, RF and SVM classifiers are 97.5 % ± 5.4 %, 98.6 % ± 0.6 % and 99.2 % ± 0.3 %, respectively. For new users, the average recognition accuracies of the NC, RF and SVM classifiers are 86.4 % ± 2.18 %, 88.6 % ± 7.4 % and 96.5 % ± 0.31 %, respectively. The study suggests that the diving glove with inertial sensors is a feasible solution for underwater gesture recognition.
