Hand gesture recognition using average background and logical heuristic equations

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 11, Issue 5

Abstract

This paper introduces a hand gesture recognition algorithm for Human Computer Interaction using real-time video streaming .The background subtraction technique is used to extract the ROI (Region Of Interest) of the hand. Fingertip is detected using logical heuristics equations that are applied on hand contour , convex hull and convexity defects points. A combination between background subtraction and logical heuristic technique that leads to more accurate results is introduced. Experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm improve the finger's tips detection by 52 % compared to the reference model.
