Mouse Control Using Hand Gesture Recognition

Computer Engineering

We all wonder if it would have been so comfortable if we could control the cursor through the use of hand gestures. Well our proposed project puts forward a hand gesture based system that allows users to control the pc mouse movements through the use of hand movements. Our system uses a PC webcam in order to detect hand gesture movements. The system continuously scans the camera input for five finger hand-like patterns. Once a hand is detected, the system then locks it as an object. A flag is set on the object in order to mark it as an object. After the object has been flagged and detected, our system then constantly records its movements in terms of x and y direction movement-based coordinates. These coordinates are then mapped real time onto the mouse cursor to move it according to hand movements
