| | However conventional method of modeling gestures as a series of poses does not allow development of generic gesture recognition and segmentation models as the number of poses the human body can assume is very large. | | | For gesture segmentation, the gesture is modeled as a series of activities in the human body segments and joints. | | | Present approaches to gesture analysis have been influenced by the work in the field of computational linguistics wherein many aspects of languages (such as the segmentation of continuous speech into discrete words and recognition of those words) are well understood by linguists and philosophers. |

| | Chapter 1: the Hand of "El caballero de la mano al pecho" |
| | The purpose of this study is to determine the meaning of the gesture used in the portrait of "El caballero de la mano al pecho." This essay is an iconographical analysis of the hand sign viewed from historical and religious perspectives. | | | We can now acknowledge that the gesture of "El caballero de la mano al pecho" by El Greco cannot be analyzed within the hermetic restrictions of painting and painter: the fields of investigation must be broadened to examine the incidence and appearance of the gesture in other areas, from other times, from different cultures. | | | As in the analysis of the cultural anthropologist, the final conclusion can only be inferred from the material since the analysis deals with the art, the history, and the religions of centuries past, and because it deals with an artifact of symbolic communication--a hand gesture--as old as art, though forgotten today. |

| | An Agenda for Gesture Studies |
| | For example, gesture as a means of communication has a number of properties, such as silence, ability to transmit over long distances, ability to be used in a concealed manner, ability to use it for one interchange while carrying on with another, and so forth, that may make its elaboration highly adaptable in certain circumstances. | | | Every speech-community has a repertoire of such forms (sometimes referred to as 'emblems') however, from one community to another (as well as within a given community), there seems to be much variation in the extent to which gesture is used as a mode of utterance on its own. | | | It may be that in traditional Italian urban culture or, more specifically, in the culture of Naples (where gesture use is especially rich), the ecology of everyday interaction is such that it particularly favours the use of gesture. |

| | Observing Arrernte speakers who gesture at arm’s length, De Ruiter and Wilkins hypothesized that the preparation of their gestures should take longer than usual, and that the co-expressive speech should be delayed to the same degree as the gesture to maintain synchrony between the two if their production processes are interactive. | | | The key fact is that Arrernte speakers, unlike non-Arrernte speakers, perform gestures at arm’s length; such gestures, performed at the outer limit of the gesture space, require a longer preparation phase. | | | On the contrary, they would reveal the very opposite of modularity—a continuing on-line process by Arrernte speakers of controlling the relationship between speech and gesture, in which the gesture is aimed to occur at the moment that the semantically co-expressive speech ends. |

| | The recognition of static poses is accomplished by defining reference points and regions which map to the static poses of the gesture set. | | | Two alternate algorithm methods were investigated for their capability to discriminate these gesture sequences in "real-time." A template matching algorithm exploited static characteristics of the gesture set, while both trajectory matching and region tracking analyzed dynamic characteristics to interpret specific gestures. | | | The gestures are executed by using one or both arms in either a static pose or moving gesture. |

| | In addition to their stylistic differences regarding the gesture, five of the six paintings share the primary theme of lactation in which breast-milk is transferred from a goddess to an immature god or adult human male, which also presupposes the overt display of the breast, or ostentatio mammarum. | | | If, like his shoulders and the location of his sword, the caballero's gesture was unique, a strong case could be made for the theory that the artist painted the portrait of an unfortunate Spanish nobleman born with two apparent congenital birth defects, the zygodactylous hand being the more obvious. | | | Along with other proposed explanations for the gesture's existence, however, the hypothesis that the gesture is physiological, not symbolic, the result of a malformation of the gentleman's hand, has no evidence to support it. |
