When viewed from below, a user's feet cast shadows onto the floor screen of an under-floor projection system, such as a six-sided CAVE. Tracking those shadows with a camera provides enough information for calculating a user's ground-plane location, foot orientation, and footstep events. We present Shadow Walking, an unencumbered locomotion technique that uses shadow tracking to sense a user's walking...
As cameras become cheaper and gain popularity, vision-based input devices are highly desired and may now become a feasible solution. In this paper, a vision-based virtual piano mechanism is proposed. By tacking and analyzing the motion of the fingertips, the system can detect keystrokes and play the corresponding note on a seven-key virtual piano. Experimental results show the precision and efficiency...
In this paper, a method to control the movement of a mouse pointer using simple hand gestures and a webcam is proposed. A real-time tracking algorithm is implemented based on adaptive skin detection and motion analysis. Using the history of motion, the trajectory of the movement of the hand is drawn and then used to identify a gesture. A region of interest algorithm is proposed, in order to scale...
In this paper, a real-time technique for segmenting a hand, determining hand's locations is described. The algorithm consists of two steps; the first is to location the hand area in noise condition and segment the part of hand. Then seek for angles of the fingers and location of fingertip with a novel factor determination in special OPS (optical parameter sequence). It keeps the advantages of optical...
Here is presented a method which gives performance improvement for blob detection and tracking in real-time video stream. The algorithm can be used in multi-touch screen based and touch-free gesture based user interfaces.
Finger flicking is a familiar finger movement, and we often flick a small object on the table with a finger in our daily life. We developed a flicking gesture recognition system called the dasiaOHAJIKI interfacepsila, which can track very rapid flicking movements using a high-speed camera, and estimate the flicking power and direction in real time. In this paper, we describe the recognition techniques...
