Abstract

The increasing significance of computers in our daily lives, coupled with the rise of ubiquitous computing, has necessitated effective human-computer interaction. Hand gesture recognition systems have emerged as a real-time video-based solution for detecting and interpreting hand gestures, offering intelligent and natural human-computer interaction (HCI) methods. This project focuses on leveraging human hands as input devices for computer operation. Developed using Python and the OpenCV library, the program utilizes a computer webcam to capture and analyze hand shapes and patterns. The program provides real-time feedback by displaying recognized hand gestures on the live video stream. The ultimate outcome of this project is an application that enhances user experiences in contactless systems. The project recognizes and detects human hand motions using the Python computer language through a process flow that includes background subtraction, hand ROI segmentation, contour detection, and finger recognition. Techniques for processing images are used, including hand gesture detection, pattern recognition, thresholding, and contour detection. The processing of incoming photos and the creation of related keystrokes are made possible by OpenCV, a rich set of image processing tools
