Mouse Control by Hand Gestures

Supervised by Y.Gotoh

Abstract

At present, there is a pressing demand for motion sensing technology in the worldwide market, but the supply side is still slightly less. The main reason is that the current motion sensing technology is not mature enough for massive using and popularizing.

This project aims to design a software platform to allow people to interact with a personal computer that almost everyone will have and work with it by using body actions. The relevant body actions are hand gestures.

For now, this project has met the basic requirements of my design. Users can interact with the system via three kinds of hand gestures. The accuracy of recognition is acceptable. However, there are some problems in the project. For example, the recognition will be disturbed by lighting, complex background, etc. or the noise cannot be removed perfectly. Therefore, the project still has left room to grow in order to be better and easier to use.
