Hand Gesture Recognition : A Review

Computer is used by many people either at their wor k or in their spare-time. Special input and output devices have been designed over the years with the purpose of ea sing the communication between computers and humans, the two most known are the keyboard and mouse. Every new device can be seen as an attempt to make the comput er more intelligent and making humans able to perform more complicated communication with the computer. This has been possible due to the result oriented efforts ma de by computer professionals for creating successful huma n computer interfaces. The idea is to make computers understand human language and develop a user friendly human computer interfaces (HCI). Making a computer understand speech, facial expressions and human gestures are some steps towards it. Gestures are the non-ver bally exchanged information. A person can perform innumerable gestures at a time. Since human gestures are percei ved through vision, it is a subject of great interest f or computer vision researchers. The purpose of this review is t o introduce the field of gesture recognition as a mec hanism for interaction with computers.
