An Analysis of Hand Gesture Recognition Technique Using Finger Movement Detection Based on Color Marker

Hand Gesture recognition and Human Computer Interaction is an open research problem as the main purpose behind gesture recognition research is to identify a particular human gesture by computer. Hand gesture recognition based man-machine interface is being currently developed and researched upon both by industry and academia. In this paper, we develop a technique for recognizing the gestures made by user using MATLAB® and implement this technique to control the computer remotely without any keyboard or mouse. We present a real-time hand tracking technique by using a white cloth glove with a red color marker placed at fingertip. In this paper, a hand gesture recognition method based on color marker detection is presented as we have used a red color marker that is mounted on the fingertip of right hand to track the user’s hand. We proposed a technique for natural, finger-tip based interaction with computer.
