Abstract

Computer vision has been applied widely in cybersecurity, specially for authentication purposes like iris or fingerprint recognition. Image processing techniques also allow to understand hand gestures of the sign language alphabet, among others. Combining both approaches, in this paper, a system to detect the hand SOS gesture is proposed. By training a model to understand hand gestures, the detection of a certain sequence of hand gestures make possible to identify the SOS signal. The proposed method can be deployed in surveillance systems and others devices with a camera such as social robots. So, victims can ask for help silently and alarms can inform the authorities automatically.
