Abstract :
This paper describes a new hand shape recognition method for man-machine interfaces using a pipeline image process. The basic strategy is to use simple but effective real time dynamical image processing to enhance the reliability of hand shape recognition since motion between frames is minimized. The algorithm for a noncontact-type hand shape recognizer has been developed for incorporation into a virtual reality environment
