Hand Gesture Recognition Using MATLAB Software: Group II

This document proposes a hand gesture recognition system using MATLAB that detects the number of fingers in an image. The system first detects skin color using filtering and applies various image preprocessing steps. It finds the nearest contour point and erodes the image based on the centroid point. This removes unwanted objects and gives an accurate finger count, which is displayed to the user. The system works with MATLAB R2013a on Windows 7 or higher and uses image processing techniques to generate precise results.

Hand Gesture Recognition System

• Here we proposed a system where hand gesture is recognized using image


processing. System detects number of fingers. System detects separated
fingers which are above the palm. System first detects skin color from
image using filtering. Image undergoes various image preprocessing steps
in order to give accurate number of fingers. System finds nearest point
from contour point. System erodes the image based on the centroid point.
We applied more image preprocessing steps on resultant image so that
fingers appear accurately. System finally detects number of fingers and
displays the count to user.
Features
.User has to provide hand gesture image as an input
System converts image to grayscale image so that system can apply
.preprocessing steps on image
.Skin color is detected from image using filtering
.Image preprocessing steps are used to get accurate count
.System finds nearest point from contour point
System removes all unwanted objects to find accurate count
Software &Hardware
• Version: MATLAB R2013a

i5 Processor
Operating system: Windows 7 and above
Advantages
• Image Processing steps are used to generate accurate count.
• System removes all unwanted objects for counting only fingers.
• A very large (and growing) database of built-in algorithms for image
processing and computer vision applications.
• MATLAB allows us to test algorithms immediately without recompilation.
We can type something at the command line or execute a section in the
editor and immediately see the results, greatly facilitating algorithm
development.
Disadvantages

1)Work only on images.


2)Requires clear image for processing.
3) Requires clear and non reflective background.
4)The main disadvantage of interpreted languages is execution speed.
Application
• Computerized photography (e.g., Photoshop)
• Space image processing (e.g., Hubble space telescope
images, interplanetary probe images)
• Medical/Biological image processing (e.g., interpretation of
X-ray images, blood/cellular microscope images)
• Automatic character recognition (zip code, license plate recognition)

• Finger print/face/iris recognition

• Remote sensing: aerial and satellite image interpretations

• Industrial applications (e.g., product inspection/sorting)
