Gesture remote control system based on vision

Abstract

The invention discloses a gesture remote control system based on vision. The gesture remote control system comprises an image capture device for capturing a series of images of an object; a gesture recognizing device for recognizing an object gesture from the series of images captured by the image capture device and sending a recognition result to an operation command trigger device; the operation command trigger device for triggering a preset operation command according to the recognition result sent by the gesture recognizing device. The gesture recognizing device comprises a hand detecting component for detecting the object hand from the images captured by the image capture device; a hand tracking component for tracking the object hand in the following images when the hand detecting component detects the object hand in one image; a gesture recognizing component for determining movement of the object hand according to the object hand detected by the hand detecting component and the object hand tracked by the hand tracking component and recognizing the object gesture according to the determined movement of the object hand.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of image processing, pattern recognition and object tracking, and more particularly to vision-based gesture remote control systems. Background technique [0002] As computers and numerous portable smart devices become more and more indispensable in people's lives today, people will desire more natural and efficient interactions between humans and computers. However, traditional human-computer interaction (HCI) peripherals such as mouse / keyboard, remote control, and even touch screens are difficult for users under some special conditions (for example, in the bathroom or kitchen, while driving, etc.) It is inconvenient for those places, because what is needed in these places is touch-free HCI. Therefore, in recent years, the gesture remote control system as one of the potential solutions has received more and more attention. [0003] Basically, the gesture remote control system will track the hands and analyz...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Most gesture recognition systems require high computational complexity; moreover, some of them have certain limitations, for example, require additional equipment (e.g. need to wear gloves) or sophisticated instrumentation (e.g. need infrared camera to collect depth information) or can only be used in Operate in a well-lit environment and in a simple background environment (such as not distinguishing between hands and objects with similar colors to skin tone, or only recognizing static gestures, etc.)
