Abstract—This paper proposes method for gesture recognition by two hands. In this research stereo camera was used to calculate depth map of the frame. Based on depth information precise tracking of the hands was applied. Depth map calculates in hardware level. Over sensitivity of camera to light generates horizontal noise. Especially appeared horizontal noise affects on tracking two hands located in same altitude. In this paper we suggest masking method to avoid horizontal noise in software level.

Index Terms—Hand tracking, stereo camera, two hand gesture recognition, horizontal noise, dynamic programming,depth map.
