Gesture Control Report

This document discusses a hand gesture recognition system to control smart home appliances using a Raspberry Pi 4. The system uses a webcam to capture images of hand gestures, which are processed using Python software to recognize specific gestures mapped to controlling devices like lights, fans, etc. The hardware components include a Raspberry Pi 4, relay modules to control devices, memory card for storage, and monitor/keyboard/mouse for interfacing. The system is able to accurately recognize 4 programmed gestures to turn appliances on and off, providing a simple smart home control solution using hand motions.

Appliances Control Using Hand Gesture

1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, with the explosion of the industry 4.0 technology, a series of smart devices
are gradually introduced to users such as smartphones, smart TV, etc. This has created
a premise of Smart Home to develop strongly. Smart home is equipped with advanced
automatic system for controlling lights, temperature, security, curtains, doors and
many other features aimed at making life more and more comfortable, safe and
secure. Hand Gesture Recognition System is a branch of Human Computer Interaction
in which Human hand gestures are recognized by the computer system and then
perform pre-defined task as per the application for controlling software as well as
hardware.

Figure 1: Component Flow Diagram


2.1. Raspberry Pi 4
Raspberry Pi 4 is a low cost, credit-card sized computer
that is plugged into a computer monitor or TV, and uses
a standard keyboard and mouse. Raspberry Pi has the
ability to interact with the outside world, and has been
used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from
machine learning to image processing and artificial
intelligence.

2.2. Relay
A relay module is an electrical switch that is operated by
an electromagnet. The electromagnet is activated by a
separate low-power signal from a micro controller. When
activated, the electromagnet pulls to either open or close
an electrical circuit.

2.3. Webcam
It is an input device that captures the image for Raspberry Pi 4.
The resolution of this camera is 720p.

2.4. Memory Card


It is a storage device that is used as an initial storage for the
operating system and files in Raspberry Pi 4. It helps in booting
the OS when Raspberry Pi 4 is powered up.

2.5. Monitor
Raspberry Pi 4 has an HDMI output port to give display which
is compatible with advance TVs and computer monitors.

2.6. Mouse
It is a hand-held hardware input device that controls a cursor
in a GUI (graphical user interface) for pointing, moving and
selecting text, icons, files, and folders on your Raspberry Pi 4.
2.7. Keyboard
A computer keyboard is a peripheral input device
modeled after the typewriter keyboard which uses an
arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical
levers or electronic switches.

2.8. Power Adaptor


The official Raspberry Pi USB-C Power Supply is designed to
power Raspberry Pi 4 and its output voltage is 5V.

2.9. VGA to Micro HDMI Converter


This VGA to micro-HDMI converter can connect your input device
with micro-HDMI port to HD display as output device with VGA
port.

2.10. VGA Cable


VGA cable is used to connect the Raspberry pi 4 with monitor
screen.

3. DESIGN SOFTWARE
To conduct software design for the system, Python software. It is a simple,
yet powerful programming language, and is equipped with features that
are well-suited for processing linguistic data. When detecting a person in
the frame, immediately cut the part of the frame containing the person to
draw the landmark, then the tracking program will continuously monitor
the hand, when the object is no longer in the frame, it will call the person
detection program to ensure continuity.
4. GESTURES
In the image, one can see some green and red point. The red points are programmed
to perform some specific tasks. Connecting 2 points will form a particular gesture Every
Gesture has been programmed for a specific task. The task is to turn the appliances on
and off while performing a particular Gesture. The 4 Gestures which are programmed
are shown in these images.

5. CONCLUSION
The design solution of device controller through gestures has met the minimum
requirements of a smart home. With advantages such as: simplicity, fast processing
speed, no high processing requirements, fairly accurate gesture recognition. With the
help of our algorithm, we were able to decode gestures successfully and could control
the home appliances successfully.
