Real-time Finger Tracking for Interaction

Abstract

In this work, we describe an approach for human finger motion and gesture detection using two cameras. The target of pointing on a flat monitor or screen is identified using image processing and line intersection. This is accomplished by processing above and side images of the hand. The system is able to track the finger movement without building the 3D model of the hand. Coordinates and movement of the finger in a live video feed can be taken to become the coordinates and movement of the mouse pointer for human-computer interaction purpose.
