1. CURSOR
MOVEMENT BY
HAND GESTURE

2. INTRODUCTION
Human Computer Interaction
today greatly emphasizes on
developing more spontaneous
and natural interfaces.
In the present day scenario most of
the mobile phones are using touch
screen technology to interact with the
user. But this technology is still not
cheap to be used in desktops and
laptops.

3. Our objective was to create a
virtue mouse system using Web
camera to interact with the
computer in a more user friendly
manner that can be alternative
approach for the touch screen.
On developing this approach that
uses a video device to control the
mouse system

4. Computer technology has tremendously grown over the
past decade and has become a necessary part of everyday
live. The primary computer accessory for Human
Computer Interaction (HCI) is the mouse. We all wonder
it would have been so comfortable if we could control
cursor through the use of hand gestures
These gaming technologies provide a more natural and
interactive means of playing videogames. Motion controls
is the future of gaming and it have tremendously boosted
the sales of video games, such as the Nintendo

5. ABSTRACT
Several new interfaces provide
possibilities for the realization of
human-computer interaction
including the controlling systems
based on human movement. The
human - computer interaction is able
to detect the cognitive actions, the
human and computer can have much
more than an interaction (HCI).
On the basis of the results of the
mouse cursor movement analysis
differences were shown in the course
of controlling performed by a
conventional mouse, and hand
gesture detection.

6. Here we propose to change the
hardware design. Most of the
existing technologies mainly
depend on changing the
mouse parts features like
changing the position of tracking
ball and adding more buttons.
We use a camera, image
comparison
technology and motion detection
technology to control mouse
movement and implement its
functions.

7. The applications of real time hand gesture recognition in the
real world are numerous, due to the fact that it can be used
almost anywhere where we interact with computers. Hand
gesture depend upon camera based color detection
technique.
Current methods involve changing mouse parts such as
adding more buttons or changing the position of the tracking
ball. Instead, our method is to use a camera and computer
vision technology, such as image segmentation and gesture
recognition, to control mouse tasks (left and right clicking,
double-clicking, and scrolling) and we show how it can
perform everything as current mouse devices can.

8. DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTAION
Color detection involves detecting the color
pixels of the tapes bearing on the finger tip in
an image. It is a fundamental step. A wide range
of image processing applications such as face
detection, hand tracking and hand gesture
recognition
The assumption was made that the hand contour is
the largest contour therefore ignoring all the noise
contours in the image. This assumption can be
void, if the face contour is larger than the hand
contour. To solve this problem, the face region
must be eliminated from the frame.

9. In the contour extraction process, we are
interested in extracting the hand contour so that
shape analysis can be done on it to determine the
hand gesture. The movement of the cursor was
controlled by the tip of the index finger. In order
to identify the tip of the index finger, the centre of
the palm must first be found.
The gesture recognition method used in the
proposed design is a combination of two methods,
the method proposed by Yeo and method
proposed by Balazs. The algorithm for the
proposed gesture recognition method is described
in the flow chart that cab be shown below. It can be
seen that the convexity defects for the hand
contour must firstly be calculated

10. . The parameters of the convexity defects (start
point, end point and depth point) are stored in a
sequence of arrays. After the convexity defects
are obtained, there are two main steps for
gesture recognition: 1. Finger Tip Identification
2. Number Of Fingers
It involves mapping different hand gestures to
specific mouse functions There is no inbuilt
function in MATLAB which can directly access the
mouse drivers of the computer. But MATLAB code
supports integration with other languages like C,
C++, and JAVA.

11. LITERATURE REVIEW
In 2013, Ashwini M. Patil, Focuses on the
development of machine-user interface which
implements hand gesture recognition using simple
computer vision and multimedia techniques.
Before actual implementing gesture comparison
algorithms, skin pixel detection and hand
segmentation from stored frames need to be done.
There are traditional approaches for virtual
keyboard and mouse systems which are usually
based on eye gestures. Our literature review
focuses on the research works on virtual keyboard
and virtual mouse which were published in
Elsevier, Springer, ACM Digital Library, IEEE
Digital Library etc. We discussed about few related
works on virtual keyboard and virtual mouse in
the following two subsections.

14. CONCLUSION
Mouse actually form an integral
part of the computer system. Our
system architecture can facilitate
the use of computer for the
paralyzed people. We have
developed a virtual system
where people can communicate
with the computer without using
any physical keyboard and
mouse.
This could lead to a new age of
Human Computer Interaction
in which physical contact with
the computer would not be
necessary at all.

15. The system control the mouse
pointer and implement its
operation using a real time
camera. The goal of this project
is to form a system which will
acknowledge the hand
gestures and control the
computer/laptop in line with
those gestures. The project will
profit the mobile systems
where using pointing devices
like mouse is tough.
The project is additionally
developed in such the way that
the user, new to the system
can simply have to install the
set up and not run the full
project
