In this paper we propose a non intrusive tracking system able to capture simple hand gestures in a fast and reliable way. Our device uses the images taken from a single camera to capture the 3D position and orientation of the hand of the user. In particular, the 3D position of the forefinger tip is used as a 3D marker, and the posture of the hand is used to input simple commands. The proposed a...

Vision-based hand gesture interactions are natural and intuitive when interacting with computers, since we naturally exploit gestures to communicate with other people. However, it is agreed that users suffer from discomfort and fatigue when using gesture-controlled interfaces, due to the lack of physical feedback. To solve the problem, we propose a novel complete solution of a hand gesture cont...

Vision-based interaction is an appealing option for replacing primitive human-computer interaction (HCI) using a mouse or touchpad. We propose a system for using a webcam to track a user’s hand and recognize gestures to initiate specific interactions. The contributions of our work will be to implement a system for hand tracking and simple gesture recognition in realtime. We also plan to create ...

Hand tracking and gesture recognition are fundamental in a multitude of applications. Various sensors have been used for this purpose, however, all monocular vision systems face limitations caused by occlusions. Wearable equipment overcome said limitations, although deemed impractical some cases. Using more than one sensor provides way to problem, but necessitates complicated designs. In work, ...
