A method for aligning gesture features of image is disclosed. An input gesture image is captured, and then a closed curve formed by a binary contour image of the gesture image is determined by processing the gesture image. A curvature scale space (CSS) image of the gesture image is drawn based on the closed curve. A convolution operation is performed with respect to the sequence of a coordinate-peak set formed by the CSS image and a predefined function to designate the coordinate with maximal value of integration as a basis point for obtaining a feature parameter of the gesture image. Finally, comparing the feature parameter of the gesture image with each feature parameter of a plurality of reference gesture shapes, thereby determining a gesture shape corresponding to the gesture image.

A background removal apparatus comprises a color normalization module that normalizes an original image, and an image segmentation module that segments the normalized image into several segmented regions. A background mesh generation module simulates the variation of pixel colors in background and generates an interpolated background mesh. A comparison module compares the normalized image and the interpolated background mesh to form a background mask by extracting the coherent regions between them. A refinement module uses a refined rule to determine a final background mask, and a background removal module through which a pure foreground image is obtained. The apparatus combines the efficiency of both color and spatial clustering, and improves the capabilities of current image segmentation method to perform background removal.
