Abstract
In the last few years gesture recognition and gesture-based human computer interaction has gained a significant amount of popularity amongst researchers all over the world. It has a number of applications ranging from security to entertainment. Gesture recognition is a form of biometric identification that relies on the data acquired from the gesture depicted by an individual. This data, which can be either two-dimensional or three-dimensional, is compared against a database of individuals or is compared with respective thresholds based on the way of solving the riddle. In this paper, a novel method for angle calculation of both hands’ bended fingers is discussed and its application to a robotic hand control is presented. For the first time, such a study has been conducted in the area of natural computing for calculating angles without using any wired equipment, colors, marker or any device. The system deploys a simple camera and captures images. The pre-processing and segmentation of the region of interest is performed in a HSV color space and a binary format respectively. The technique presented in this paper requires no training for the user to perform the task.
