Abstract

In latest era, human–computer interaction has gained more popularity. The mouse is one of the best inventions in human–computer interaction technology. It is used to point the digital world content by using the physical module. To give this existing traditional way of technology an intelligence, we proposed a computer vision-based hand gesture recognition system to interact with the digital world. Our system controls mouse pointer using finger count and finger strip. Our approach mainly focuses on color segmentation, color tracking, extraction of finger contour, and finger counting algorithm. To add-upon this, a speech recognition-based method is used to perform some basic operations on our system. Therefore, the proposed system eliminates the device dependency to interact with the computer, and it would be considered as a good approach to a gesture-based interface for HCI in future.
