Real-Time Gesture Recognition for Controlling a Virtual Hand

Article Preview

Abstract:

Object tracking in three dimensional environments is an area of research that has attracted a lot of attention lately, for its potential regarding the interaction between man and machine. Hand gesture detection and recognition, in real time, from video stream, plays a significant role in the human-computer interaction and, on the current digital image processing applications, this represent a difficult task. This paper aims to present a new method for human hand control in virtual environments, by eliminating the need of an external device currently used for hand motion capture and digitization. A first step in this direction would be the detection of human hand, followed by the detection of gestures and their use to control a virtual hand in a virtual environment.
