Hand Gesture Recognition Systems

Anthropological approach to gesture studies is based on the cultural communication as well on defining the context of occurrence within the general cultural context, where latter provides the frame of reference for the communication issued. The particular gesture is reviewed according to the relation of the morphology of physical movement to the semantic contents achieved and transmitted within the contexts of relevance. The gestures discussed are those performed by the players of the Italian football clubs "Torino" and "Juventus" after scoring the goals at the games between those clubs in some past seasons. The explanatory procedure links this discussion to the gesture studies in Serbian ethnology and anthropology by structural-homologic consideration of some further contexts of relevance.
