  • To improve early detection of breast cancer by analyzing hand movements during self-examination.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized web camera video capture to record hand movements.
  • Developed an intelligent algorithm employing Hand Configuration Recognition Algorithm (HCRA) principles.
  • Incorporated a novel transitional appearance-based model and a Hand Motion Recognition Algorithm (HMRA).

Main Results:

  • Achieved desirable results in tracking finger pads of a moving hand.
  • Successfully recognized hand motion patterns with the developed HMRA.
  • Demonstrated the robustness of the automated tracking and recognition algorithm.

Conclusions:
