At the present time, hand gestures recognition system could be used as a more expected and useable approach for human computer interaction. Automatic hand gesture recognition system provides us a new tactic for interactive with the virtual environment. In this paper, a face and hand gesture recognition system which is able to control computer media player is offered. Hand gesture and human face...

Gesture recognition is to recognizing meaningful expressions of motion by a human, involving the hands, arms, face, head, and/or body. Hand Gestures have greater importance in designing an intelligent and efficient human–computer interface. The applications of gesture recognition are manifold, ranging from sign language through medical rehabilitation to virtual reality. This exploratory survey ...

The use of human hand as a natural interface for humancomputer interaction (HCI) serves as the motivation for research in hand gesture recognition. Vision-based hand gesture recognition involves visual analysis of hand shape, position and/or movement. In this paper, we use the concept of object-based video abstraction for segmenting the frames into video object planes (VOPs), as used in MPEG-4,...

Hand gesture recognition has gradually become a hot topic in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in recent years. It is a technology that can mimic how our human beings communicate with each other to interact between human and computers in natural and intuitive ways. Computer recognition of hand gestures is widely used in many applications, such as entertainment system, medical systems, crisis man...

This paper describes the primary and secondary driving task together with Human Machine Interface (HMI) trends and issues which are driving automotive user interface designers to consider hand gesture recognition as a realistic alternative for user controls. A number of hand gesture recognition technologies and applications for Human Vehicle Interaction (HVI) are also discussed including a summ...

Some groups of handicapped persons cannot reliably move the mouse and do the necessary operation on it to control the computer. However they can do some 3-d hand motions. Variety of tools has been presented for these users to interact with computer. Hand gesture recognition is one of the proper methods for this purpose. This paper presents a new algorithm for hand gesture recognition. In this a...

Owing to convenience and naturalness, hand gesture recognition has been widely used in various human-computer interaction (HCI) systems. In this paper, we address the problem from the perspective of system, and present a static hand gesture recognition algorithm based on Krawtchouk moments. The effect of the order and number of Krawtchouk moments on the recognition performance is studied in det...

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 ma...

In this paper, we introduce a hand gesture recognition system to recognize real time gesture in unconstrained environments. The system consists of three modules: real time hand tracking, training gesture and gesture recognition using pseudo two dimension hidden Markov models (P2-DHMMs). We have used a Kalman filter and hand blobs analysis for hand tracking to obtain motion descriptors and hand ...
