Description
本發明係為一種手勢偵測裝置及偵測方法,尤其係一種即時手部動作偵測系統及其方法。The present invention relates to a gesture detection device and a detection method, in particular to a real-time hand movement detection system and a method thereof.
手是作為人體感知周圍環境的一個重要感覺器官,也是人們的許多複雜動作的主要器官,透過手的動作產生手勢(例如:手語)表達語言,也可以表達情感,例如:以拍手表示歡迎、感謝或贊成,或者視障者透過握持白手杖來接觸外界,或者使用手操作樂器或直接以拍打手產生節奏的音樂表達和藝術表達。當然也不外乎使用手進行各種日常生活的各式行為動作,例如使用餐具進食,拿取杯子喝水等等。Hands are an important sensory organ for the human body to perceive the surrounding environment. They are also the main organ for many complex movements of people. Hand movements produce gestures (such as sign language) to express language, and can also express emotions, such as clapping to express welcome and thanks. Either agree, or the visually impaired can contact the outside world by holding a white cane, or use their hands to operate musical instruments or directly produce rhythm by clapping their hands for musical expression and artistic expression. Of course, it is nothing more than using your hands to perform various actions in daily life, such as using tableware to eat, taking a cup to drink water, etc.
為了達到上述的各種手的動作,有賴於手部骨骼和關節的完整性,並透過肌肉和神經運動支配的平衡關係,以及手感覺神經正常傳導。又,手的動作可以分成13種基本形式,分別為懸垂(suspension)、托舉(hold)、觸摸(touch)、推壓(pushand press)、叩擊(tap)、動態操作(manipulation)、球形掌握(ball grasp)、球星第一節的指腹握(ball pinch)、柱狀抓握(cylindroids grasp)、勾拉(hook and pull)、二第一節的指腹捏(tip pinch)、多第一節的指腹捏(multiple-tip pinch)和側捏(lateral pinch)。In order to achieve the above-mentioned various hand movements, it depends on the integrity of the hand bones and joints, the balance relationship through muscle and nerve movement control, and the normal conduction of the hand sensory nerves. In addition, hand movements can be divided into 13 basic forms, namely suspension, hold, touch, pushand press, tap, manipulation, and spherical Ball grasp, ball pinch in the first quarter, cylindroids grasp, hook and pull, tip pinch in the second quarter, and more The first section includes multiple-tip pinch and lateral pinch.
由於,手可以做出如前述的各種動作,因此有許多的研究人員或業者開發出各種不同的裝置,利用感測這些動作變化進行各種應用功能,例如:臺灣專利公開號TW201533608A(以下稱專利前案一)、TW201537396A(以下稱專利前案二)及201702996A(以下稱專利前案三)…等。這些專利前案都是在手套設置有壓力感測器,尤其是專利前案一及專利前案二的壓力感測器是設在手套對應各手指的第一節的指腹,用以感測拇第一節的指腹與其他手第一節的指腹相互接觸產生的按壓力。Since the hand can make various movements as mentioned above, many researchers or industry players have developed various devices to use the sensing of these movement changes to perform various application functions. For example: Taiwan Patent Publication No. TW201533608A (hereinafter referred to as the former patent Case 1), TW201537396A (hereinafter referred to as the previous patent case 2) and 201702996A (hereinafter referred to as the previous patent case 3)...etc. These previous patents are all equipped with pressure sensors on gloves. In particular, the pressure sensors in the first and second patents are located on the fingertips of the first section of the gloves corresponding to each finger for sensing. The pressing force produced by the contact between the first fingertips of the thumb and the first fingertips of the other hand.
此外,現今對於上述各種手的動作,也發展出各種評估方式包括運動功能評估、感覺功能評估、電生理檢查、工具評估等,而在運動功能評估當中,非侵入的運動功能評估方式,常以拇指的第一節的指腹與其他手指的第一節的指腹接觸的動作作為手的功能檢查正常的必要項目,當檢查此項目時,為了瞭解動作是否符合評估標準,其中一種方式為確認拇指的第一節的指腹與其他手指的第一節的指腹相互接觸,此種檢測可以使用如各專利前案的手套檢測裝置進行檢測。In addition, various assessment methods have been developed for the above-mentioned hand movements, including motor function assessment, sensory function assessment, electrophysiological examination, tool assessment, etc. Among motor function assessments, non-invasive motor function assessment methods are often used. The action of touching the pads of the first section of the thumb with the pads of the first section of the other fingers is a necessary item for a normal hand function check. When checking this item, in order to understand whether the action meets the evaluation standards, one way is to confirm The pad of the first section of the thumb is in contact with the pads of the first section of the other fingers. This detection can be carried out using a glove detection device such as the previous patents.
但是有些手部受傷或者腦部受損造成手的動作的受測者,並無法完成上述的動作,或者某些功能需要手指彎曲伸張的動作的檢測數據,用來評估手的動作靈巧程度,將無法由專利前案的手套檢測裝置提供檢測數據,當然也沒有辦法提供手指按壓與彎曲伸張之間的關聯數據,而專利前案三則是提供了彎曲偵測器與力敏電阻偵測器(請參閱專利前案三說明書第0012段落),並利用彎曲偵測器與力敏電阻偵測器偵測到的壓力變化/分布狀態,判斷使用者握滿握把,或執行手部煞車動作。However, some subjects who have hand injuries or brain damage resulting in hand movements are unable to complete the above movements, or some functions require the detection data of finger bending and stretching movements, which are used to evaluate the dexterity of hand movements. The glove detection device in the previous patent cannot provide detection data, and of course there is no way to provide correlation data between finger pressure and bending and extension. The third previous patent provides a bend detector and a force-sensitive resistor detector ( Please refer to paragraph 0012 of the specification of the third patent), and use the pressure change/distribution detected by the bend detector and the force-sensitive resistor detector to determine whether the user has fully grasped the grip or performed a hand braking action.
再者,有某些動作評估的方式需要拇指的第一節的指腹與其他手指的第一節的指腹在相互接觸的動作過程之距離變化,但是前述的各專利前案並沒有辦法提供此種動作的偵測方式,也無法關聯拇指的第一節的指腹與其他手指的第一節的指腹相互接觸的按壓力道,因此實有必要針對此一問題進行改善。Furthermore, there are certain action assessment methods that require the distance between the first pad of the thumb and the first pad of the other fingers to change during the contact with each other, but the aforementioned patent cases are unable to provide this. The detection method of this kind of movement cannot correlate the pressing pressure path where the first finger pulp of the thumb and the first finger pulp of other fingers are in contact with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to improve this problem.
有鑑於先前技術的問題,本發明之一目的係為解決檢測手部動作上缺乏量測拇指第一節的指腹與其他手指第一節的指腹動作過程的相對距離的問題,並且在量測此一動作的同時能進一步提供量測拇指第一節的指腹與其他手指第一節的指腹的壓力變化,甚至更進一步提供多種拇指第一節的指腹與其他手指第一節的指腹動作變化的選項,進行各種動作變化下拇指第一節的指腹與其他手尖第一節的指腹動作的壓力與距離,以及評估手的靈活度。In view of the problems of the prior art, one purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of not measuring the relative distance between the first finger pulp of the thumb and the first finger pulp of other fingers in detecting hand movements, and in measuring the relative distance between the first finger pulp and the first finger pulp.

Please refer to Figure 6. The present invention is a real-time hand movement detection method, which includes the following steps:
(S101) Start the operation module provided in the control device 4;
(S102) Set the test item 54. The set test item 54 includes the test time, the pressing sequence or number of fingertips of the first section of each finger, setting the detection pressure threshold and the activity distance threshold between each finger, and selecting the operating module. The trend chart window 59 should display the pressing information of those fingers and the distance information between the fingers during the test time;
(S103) A plurality of
在本發明中,設定各指間活動距離門檻值的步驟可由下列兩者方法完成,其一由控制裝置4在第一設定時間從手部影像中的拇指第一節的指腹與其他各手指第一節的指腹的相對位置,產生各指的指間活動距離門檻值,各指間活動距離門檻值係包括最大距離值與最小距離值(如圖4所示)。In the present invention, the step of setting the threshold value of the activity distance between each finger can be completed by the following two methods. One is by the control device 4 at the first setting time from the pulp of the first section of the thumb and the other fingers in the hand image. The relative position of the finger pads of the first section generates the inter-finger activity distance threshold value of each finger. The inter-finger activity distance threshold value includes the maximum distance value and the minimum distance value (as shown in Figure 4).
進一步而言,各指的最大距離值分別為在第一設定時間內每次拇指第一節的指腹與各手指第一節的指腹之間張開最大的相對位置的距離平均值或最大值。舉例而言,在第一設定時間內三次小指與拇指的張開最大的相對位置的距離分別為200mm、198mm、202mm,距離平均值為200mm,其中最大值為202mm,若以最大距離值為距離平均值則為200mm,若以最大距離值為其中最大值則為202mm。Furthermore, the maximum distance value of each finger is the average or maximum distance between the relative positions of the first joint of the thumb and the first joint of each finger within the first set time. value. For example, within the first set time, the distances between the three largest relative positions of the little finger and thumb are 200mm, 198mm, and 202mm respectively. The average distance is 200mm, and the maximum value is 202mm. If the maximum distance value is used as the distance The average value is 200mm, and if the maximum distance value is taken as the maximum value, it is 202mm.
而各指的最小距離值分別為在第一設定時間內每次拇指第一節的指腹與各手指第一節的指腹開始相接觸的相對位置的距離平均值或最小值。舉例而言,在第一設定時間內三次小指與拇指的張開相接觸的相對位置的距離分別為1mm、5mm、3mm,距離平均值為3mm,其中最小值為1mm,若以最小距離值為距離平均值則為3mm,若以最小距離值為其中最小值則為1mm。The minimum distance value of each finger is the average or minimum distance value of the relative position at which the pulp of the first section of the thumb and the pulp of the first section of each finger start to contact each time within the first set time. For example, the distances between the relative positions where the little finger and the thumb are in contact three times within the first set time are 1mm, 5mm, and 3mm respectively. The average distance is 3mm, and the minimum value is 1mm. If the minimum distance value is used as the average distance The value is 3mm, and if the minimum distance value is the minimum value, it is 1mm.
在此需要特別陳明的是,一般人在第一設定時間內每次拇指第一節的指腹與各手指第一節的指腹開始相接觸的相對位置的距離平均值或最小值的理論值應為0mm,而前述的舉例係以手部活動受損者為例,因此各指的最小距離值可能不為零。而前述的最大距離值對於手部活動受損者而言,也可能只有1mm、5mm、3mm。What needs special explanation here is the theoretical value of the average or minimum distance between the relative positions of the first joint of the thumb and the first joint of each finger for an average person within the first set time. It should be 0mm, and the above example is based on a person with impaired hand movement, so the minimum distance value of each finger may not be zero. The aforementioned maximum distance values may only be 1mm, 5mm, or 3mm for people with impaired hand movements.
另一種方式設定各指間活動距離門檻值的步驟,則由施測者輸入最大距離值與最小距離值,此外第一設定時間係由施測者輸入或者內建於操作模組中。Another way to set the threshold value of the movement distance between each finger is to have the tester input the maximum distance value and the minimum distance value. In addition, the first setting time is input by the tester or built into the operation module.
在本發明中,設定各指的壓力門檻值的步驟,係包括控制裝置4接收拇指第一節的指腹分別與其他各手指第一節的指腹的相接觸而產生各指的壓力門檻值,各指的壓力門檻值係包括最大壓力值與最小壓力值(如圖4所示)。In the present invention, the step of setting the pressure threshold of each finger includes the control device 4 receiving the contact between the pulp of the first section of the thumb and the pulp of the first section of the other fingers to generate the pressure threshold of each finger. , the pressure threshold value of each finger includes the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value (as shown in Figure 4).
進一步而言,各指的最大壓力值分別為在第二設定時間內每次拇指第一節的指腹與各手指第一節的指腹相接觸的壓力平均值,例如在第二設定時間內食指與拇指第一節的指腹用最大力道相接觸的壓力平均值,分別為4.9伏特、5.1伏特、5伏特,則壓力平均值為5伏特,食指的最大壓力值則設定為5伏特。Furthermore, the maximum pressure value of each finger is the average pressure of each time the pulp of the first joint of the thumb contacts the pulp of the first joint of each finger within the second set time, for example, within the second set time The average pressure of the index finger and the first section of the thumb when they contact with maximum force are 4.9 volts, 5.1 volts, and 5 volts respectively. The average pressure value is 5 volts, and the maximum pressure value of the index finger is set to 5 volts.
在本發明中,各指的最小壓力值分別為在第二設定時間內每次拇指第一節的指腹與各手指第一節的指腹相接觸最小力道的壓力平均值。,例如在第二設定時間內食指與拇指第一節的指腹相接觸的壓力平均值,分別為0.3伏特、0.2伏特、0.4伏特,則壓力平均值為0.3伏特,食指的最小壓力值則設定為5伏特。In the present invention, the minimum pressure value of each finger is the average pressure of the minimum force each time the pulp of the first section of the thumb contacts the pulp of the first section of each finger within the second set time. , for example, during the second set time, the average pressure of the index finger in contact with the first joint of the thumb is 0.3 volts, 0.2 volts, and 0.4 volts respectively, then the average pressure value is 0.3 volts, and the minimum pressure value of the index finger is set is 5 volts.
另一種設定各指的壓力門檻值的步驟,亦可由施測者輸入最大壓力值與最小壓力值。又,第二設定時間係由施測者輸入或者內建於操作模組中。Another step of setting the pressure threshold value of each finger can also involve the tester inputting the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value. In addition, the second set time is input by the tester or built into the operation module.
在本發明中,各按壓資訊與各指間距離資訊可以儲存在控制裝置4或傳送到雲端裝置,也可以由操作模組輸出是否重新設定測試項目54全部或一部分。In the present invention, each pressing information and each finger distance information can be stored in the control device 4 or transmitted to a cloud device, or the operation module can output whether to reset all or part of the test items 54.
在本發明中,從手部影像處理成各指間距離資訊,係操作模組中利用影像辨識神經網路即可建立而成,例如:以派森(Python)程式利用開放原始碼電腦視覺庫(OpenCV)進行影像辨識,或者使用谷歌人工智慧平台(Google AI platform) 進行影像辨識。In the present invention, the hand image is processed into the distance information between each finger, which can be established by using the image recognition neural network in the operating module. For example, using the open source computer vision library using the Python program. (OpenCV) for image recognition, or use Google AI platform for image recognition.
據上所述,本發明可以運用在各種不同的領域,例如醫療機構評估神經疾病(例如阿茲海默症)導致手部活動受損的活動能力,例如:在手部復健過程中,監測受測者的手指的開合狀態及指尖相接觸的力道大小,又或者可以運用工廠量測作業員的手部靈巧度,評估工作效率與手部靈活度的關係等。According to the above, the present invention can be used in various fields, such as medical institutions to evaluate the mobility of hand movements caused by neurological diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease), for example: during hand rehabilitation, monitoring The opening and closing state of the subject's fingers and the force of contact between the fingertips, or the factory can be used to measure the operator's hand dexterity to evaluate the relationship between work efficiency and hand dexterity.
