Design a HCI system-Mouse Control By Hand Gestures Detection

Supervised by Y.Gotoh

Abstract

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interface between system and users. The system can be a variety of machines or some software. Users can use HCI system to communication with the computer. This project aims to design an HCI system that controls the mouse by hand gestures detection.

In order to achieve this project, there are several main goals need to establish: tracking hand, hand gesture detection and mouse control. Using OpenCV  to deal with images that capture from web camera in order to detect the hand gesture. Through different hand gestures to distinguish the status of the hand. Using Python to design this project.

Key words: Human-Computer Interaction, hand gesture detection, Python, Opencv
