This document discusses a project on hand gesture recognition using image processing. It provides an introduction to hand gestures and how they are an important aspect of human interaction. The document outlines the motivation for developing a hand gesture recognition system, which includes providing an interface for disabled individuals and as a virtual mouse. The objective of the project is to implement human-computer interaction through basic algorithms for background recognition and gesture recognition. A work plan is provided that outlines the timeline for researching algorithms, building a program, testing accuracy and efficiency, and modifying if needed. References are included that discuss previous work on hand gesture recognition.

Introduction
Gestures
- Important aspects of Human Interaction
- Non-verbal communication commonly used by
humans in daily life
- like movement of hand, face or other parts of the
body
Hand Gesture Recognition
- Highly adaptive interface between machine and
their users with a mathematical algorithm
- User friendly access, less time consumption and
interactive approach

3. Motivation
3
• Gestures – common in personal
communication
• Gives a wide scope in developing a unique
way of Human-machine interaction
• Hand Gesture Recognition System – a
convenient tool for the disabled(dumb)
• Virtual Mouse
•In slide presentations
•Substitute for Remote
