Finger Based Indoor Robot by Gesture Recognition

Processing Real-Time image sequence is now possible because of advancement of technological developments in digital signal processing, wide-band communication, and high-performance VLSI. Recently, the demand for the indoor robots has increased. Therefore, increased opportunities for many people to operate the robots have emerged. However, for many people, it is often difficult to operate a robot using the conventional methods like remote control. To solve this problem, we propose a robot operation system using the hand gesture recognition. Our method pays attention to the direction and movement of the hand. We were able to recognize several gestures in real-time.
