Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for validating gesture recognition capabilities of automated systems. Aspects include a gesture recognition training system that is scalable, efficient, repeatable, and accounts for permutations of physical characteristics, clothing, types of gestures, environment, culture, weather, road conditions, etc. The gesture recognition training system includes sensors and algorithms used to generate training data sets that facilitate more accurate recognition of and reaction to human gestures. A training data set can be scaled from both monitoring and recording gestures performed by a humanoid robot and performed by animated humans in a simulation environment. From a scaled training data set, autonomous devices can be trained to recognize and react to a diverse set of human gestures in varying conditions with substantially improved capabilities. Recognition capabilities of an autonomous device can be validated and (re)trained until recognition capabilities are determined to be sufficient.
