This paper discusses the use of computer vision in interpretation human gestures. Hand gestures would be an intuitive and ideal way exchanging information with other people a virtual space, guiding some robots to perform certain tasks hostile environment, or interacting computers. can divided into two main categories: static dynamic In this paper, novel hand gesture recognition technique is proposed. It based on 2D skeleton representation hand. For each gesture, skeletons posture are superposed providing single image which signature gesture. The performed by comparing ones from alphabet, using Baddeley's distance as measure dissimilarities between model parameters.
