Gestures of a person symbolizing analogous pathological disorder are not always exclusive. Naturally, the gestural features of a subject suffering from the same pathological disorder vary widely over different instances. In presence of two or more gestural features, the variation of the attributes together makes the problem of pathological disorder recognition more convoluted. Wider variance in gestural features is the main source of uncertainty in the pathological disorder recognition, which has been addressed here using type-2 fuzzy sets (T2FSs). First, a type-2 fuzzy gesture space is created with the background knowledge of gestural features of different subjects for different pathological disorders. Second, the pathological disorder of an unknown gestural expression is recognized based on the consensus of the measured gestural features of the fuzzy gesture space. A fusion of interval and general type-2 Fuzzy Sets has been used to construct the fuzzy gestural space. An interval valued fuzzy set (IVFS) or interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2FS) is constructed with primary membership functions for M gestural features obtained from N subjects, each having L instances of gestural expressions for a given pathological disorder. The corresponding general type-2 fuzzy set (GT2FS) includes the secondary memberships for individual primary upper and lower membership curves in the respective IVFS. The secondary membership of a given source, characterizing the reliability in its primary membership assignment, is determined based on the amalgamated knowledge of all the subjects' primary membership functions. The representatives of each pathological disorder class are then evaluated by utilizing the attractive features of both IVFS and GT2FS. The pathological disorder of an unknown gestural expression is finally determined by identifying its minimal discrepancy with the existing class representatives. The adopted T2FS-based uncertainty management strategy, when applied to gender independent training and testing datasets, results in a classification accuracy of 93.41%.
