The aim of this project is to develop an application capable of
recognizing a range of gestures from a single user through computer
vision techniques. A requirement of this project is to produce a low
cost, real time solution. Since we humans communicate and
exchange our thoughts, messages or information chiefly by vision
and sound, therefore a human computer interface would be more
intuitive if it made greater use of sound and vision recognition.
Another benefit is that, the user not need to have any physical
contact with the computer. However, unlike audio commands, a
visual system should be preferable in noisy environments or in
situations where sound would cause a disturbance. The visual
system we have chosen is the recognition of hand gestures. The
amount of computation required to process hand gestures is much
greater than that of the mechanical devices; however standard
desktop computers are now quick enough to make this project, hand
gesture recognition using computer vision, a viable proposition.
Potential Uses of Gesture Recognition
1) As an Input device for the disabled (deaf and dumb)
2) Human-Computer Interface
3) Security Purposes
