description With the recent development of small radars with high resolution, various human–computer interaction (HCI) applications using them have been developed. In particular, a method of applying a user’s hand gesture recognition using a short-range radar to an electronic device is being actively studied. In general, the time delay and Doppler shift characteristics that occur when a transmitted signal that is reflected off an object returns are classified through deep learning to recognize the motion. However, the main obstacle in the commercialization of radar-based hand gesture recognition is that even for the same type of hand gesture, recognition accuracy is degraded due to a slight difference in movement for each individual user. To solve this problem, in this paper, the domain adaptation is applied to hand gesture recognition to minimize the differences among users’ gesture information in the learning and the use stage. To verify the effectiveness of domain adaptation, a domain discriminator that cheats the classifier was applied to a deep learning network with a convolutional neural network (CNN) structure. Seven different hand gesture data were collected for 10 participants and used for learning, and the hand gestures of 10 users that were not included in the training data were input to confirm the recognition accuracy of an average of 98.8%.
