neural network and fuzzy-based system for hand gesture recognition, leveraging the combined strengths of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS). The proposed approach aims to enhance gesture detection accuracy by integrating a fuzzy logic-based edge detection mechanism with a CNN model for improved feature extraction and classification. The Fuzzy Inference System is designed to detect edges in hand gesture images by applying fuzzy rules and membership functions, which reduces the complexity and noise in the input data. The edge-detected images are then fed into the CNN for training, resulting in a more efficient recognition process with improved accuracy and reduced computational costs. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms traditional CNN-based approaches in terms of recognition accuracy and robustness across varying lighting conditions and hand shapes. This innovative combination of CNN and fuzzy logic provides a reliable and efficient solution for hand gesture recognition, with potential applications in human-computer interaction, sign language interpretation, and virtual reality.

Section III describes the proposed multi-model CNN-Fuzzy system, detailing the architecture and the fuzzy logic-based edge detection process. Section IV presents the experimental setup and results, highlighting the performance of the proposed system compared to conventional methods. Finally, Section V concludes the paper with a discussion on future research directions.

1. INTRODUCTION

Sharma et al. (2023) proposed a time-distance parameterbased HGR system using multiple ultra-wideband (UWB) radars to capture hand gestures. Their approach demonstrated the potential for UWB radars in accurately detecting and recognizing hand movements by leveraging time and distance parameters. This method is beneficial for environments where conventional cameras may face challenges due to lighting or obstructions.

Hand gesture recognition is a critical area of research in human-computer interaction (HCI), offering intuitive and non-invasive methods for users to interact with digital environments. Traditional approaches to hand gesture recognition primarily rely on deep learning techniques, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which have demonstrated significant success in extracting complex features from images. However, CNN-based models often face challenges in handling noise, variations in lighting, and complex backgrounds, which can adversely affect recognition accuracy.

Another study by Sharma et al. (2023) explored the application of machine learning techniques in HGR. They conducted an extensive review of different machine learning methods, including support vector machines, decision trees, and deep learning models, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each approach in

To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel hand gesture recognition system that combines the capabilities of CNNs with a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS).
