with the rapid emergence of 3d applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. this is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. in other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the human-computer interaction (hci). in...

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

Gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. The use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. In particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. In this work, we introduce a 3-...
