This Matlab project controls the activities of the laptop using gestures by hand. Here I have used 3 color dots on my finger tips to control it. You can play any video , scroll pdf file without touching your laptop;you just need gestures to play with laptop.
Matlab Project Descrition:
ABSTRACT:
This project presents an approach to develop a real-time hand gesture recognition enabling human-computer interaction.The applications of real time hand gesture recognition are many . Currently, at this level our project is useful for the society but it can further be expanded to be readily used at the industrial level as well. Gesture recognition is an area of active current research in computer vision.
INTRODUCTION:
In our work, we have tried to control mouse cursor movement and click events using a camera based on color detection technique. Here real time video has been captured using a Web-Camera. Individual frames of the video are separately processed. The processing techniques involve an image subtraction algorithm to detect colors. Once the colors are detected the system performs various operations to track the cursor and performs control actions.
Need of Hand Gesture Recognition:
Generally, Hand Gesture Recognition technology is implemented using “Data Gloves” or “Color pins” which in turn leads to additional cost and lack of availability among the majority of masses. Also, using additional devices involves more amount of maintenance. Webcam is an easily available device and today every laptop has an integrated webcam along with it. In our project, we will implement a hand gesture recognizer which is capable of detecting a moving hand with its gesture in webcam frames. In future, it may be considered that willing to be more natural and more comforted, human being, who has been communicated with computers through mouse, keyboards, several user interfaces and some virtual environments, may use their bare hands to interact with machines without any mediator. As the set of materials above, recognition of hand gestures and postures is a satisfactory way to first steps of solutions instead of using keyboards, mouse or joysticks. A very common disease known as Parkinso’s disease is very relevant nowadays among the common masses. This disease is caused due to excessive use of keyboard and mouse. Use of Gesture recognition technology will prevent this in future.
