Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Computer Vision
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Coded gestures, physical movements with assigned meanings, can enhance electronic pointing devices.
  • Gesture distortions pose challenges for automatic recognition systems.
  • Integrating gesture control into existing software requires robust recognition algorithms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a real-time gesture recognition system for electronic pointers.
  • To enable control of mouse-driven software using coded gestures.
  • To investigate the efficacy of a dynamic programming algorithm for gesture recognition.

Main Methods:

  • A dynamic programming algorithm was developed after evaluating three techniques.
  • A real-time gesture recognizer was designed and implemented.
  • The system was deployed on an obsolescent microcomputer to minimize costs.

Main Results:

  • Preliminary trials with 10 subjects demonstrated an average gesture recognition rate of 98.3%.
  • The system achieved a low gesture confusion rate of 0.4%.
  • The implementation on cost-effective hardware proved feasible despite technical compromises.

Conclusions:

  • The developed dynamic programming algorithm effectively recognizes coded gestures in real-time.
  • Gesture recognition technology can enhance electronic pointer functionality for software control.
  • This approach offers a viable, low-cost solution for gesture-based human-computer interaction.
