A Novel Contactless Human Machine Interface based on Machine Learning (1907.04390v1)

Abstract: This paper describes a global framework that enables contactless human machine interaction using computer vision and machine learning techniques. The main originality of our framework is that only a very simple image acquisition device, as a computer camera, is sufficient to establish a rich human machine interaction as traditional devices such as mouse or keyboard. This framework is based on well known computer vision techniques and efficient machine learning techniques are used to detect and track user hand gestures so the end user can control his computer using virtual interfaces with very simple gestures.
