ABSTRACT Gesture recognition aims to recognize meaningful movements of human bodies, and is of utmost importance in intelligent human-computer/robot interactions. In this paper, we present a multimodal gesture recognition method based on 3-D convolution and convolutional long-short-term-memory (LSTM) networks. The proposed method first learns short-term spatiotemporal features of gestures through the 3-D convolutional neural network, and then learns long-term spatiotemporal features by convolutional LSTM networks based on the extracted short-term spatiotemporal features. In addition, fine-tuning among multimodal data is evaluated, and we find that it can be considered as an optional skill to prevent overfitting when no pre-trained models exist. The proposed method is verified on the ChaLearn LAP large-scale isolated gesture data set (IsoGD) and the Sheffield Kinect gesture (SKIG) data set. The results show that our proposed method can obtain the state-of-the-art recognition accuracy (51.02% on the validation set of IsoGD and 98.89% on SKIG).
