There are situations in which it is necessary to interact
with a system without touching it. The reasons include
dirty hands (when repairing a motor, for example), hygiene
(to indicate the desired water temperature when
washing hands in a public bathroom), and focus of attention
(not wishing to redirect the sight towards the
controls when operating delicate equipment or interacting
with an augmented-reality scenario). The use of
voice commands as an alternative to touch-based controls,
such as keyboards, buttons, and touch screens, requires
a quiet environment and natural language processing;
voice commands are, additionally, language-specific
and sensitive to dialects and to speech impediments.
Another alternative is remote control through
gesture recognition, also known as remote control "with
the wave of a hand". Common applications for this kind
of control involve medical systems -provide the user
sterility to avoid the spread of infections-, entertainment,
and human-robot interaction.
We have developed a fast and optimized algorithm for hand gesture recognition.
Our proposed hand-gesture detection algorithm works in real time, using
basic computer-vision techniques such as filters, border
detection, and convex-hull detection; in addition, it
only requires a standard webcam, does not need special
markers on the hand, can detect the hand regardless of
its position and orientation.
