Abstract

This paper presents a technique to develop a vision based interface system for controlling and performing various computer functions with the aim of making the human-computer interaction. The main aim of human computer interaction is to develop simpler ways for users to interact with computers. One of the main areas of research in human machine interaction is hand gesture recognition. It makes interaction with machines intelligible and effortless. In this investigation, with the use of a camera and computer vision technology such as image segmentation and feature extraction, a technique is developed which can be used for computer control using hand gestures.
