Video Gesture Recognition System

The primary goal of a gesture recognition system proposed in this paper is to identify specific human gestures and use them to communicate information or for device control. It involves recognizing hand gestures through a video feed and is used to control appliances like light, fan, etc. Motion detection in the continuous video stream is done using a motion detection algorithm. This simple video gesture recognizer takes us one step closer to the emerging ubiquitous environment, allowing device control by visual input thereby eliminating the need for standard input devices.
