    This document summarizes a student project to develop a gesture-controlled virtual mouse using computer vision algorithms. The goal is to allow users to control mouse functions with hand gestures in front of a webcam instead of using a physical mouse. The project aims to reduce hardware costs and provide a more convenient input method. Some key advantages mentioned include interacting with computers non-physically and saving space. Potential limitations and future areas of improvement discussed include handling variable lighting and skin tones accurately and expanding the set of supported gestures.

    Introduction
    • As computer technology continues to develop, people have smaller and
    smaller electronic devices.
    • Increasingly we are recognizing the importance of human computing
    interaction (HCI), and inparticular vision-based gesture and object
    recognition.
    • In our project, we propose a novel approach that uses a video device to
    control the mouse system(Mouse tasks).
    • We employ several image processing algorithms to implement this.
    Project Scope
    • For most laptop touchpad is not the most comfortable and convenient.
    • Virtual mouse, known as Virtual Multitask Mouse.
    • This is real time application.
    • User friendly application.
    • This project removes the requirement of having a physical.
    Goal and Objective
    • The goal is to manage computers and other devices with gestures rather
    than pointing and clicking a mouse or touching a display directly.

    • Backers believe that the approach can make it not only easier to carry out
    many existing chores but also take on trickier tasks such as creating 3-D
    models, browsing medical imagery during surgery without touching
    anything.
    • Reduce cost of hardware.
    Problem Statement
    • To design virtual mouse which detects hand gestures patterns instead of
    physical mouse.
    • Basically we use colored tips for detection which are captured by webcam.
    • Here, the colored fingertip acts as an object which the web cam senses.
    • The camera is positioned such that it recognizes the moment of finger tips
    and performs the operations of mouse.
    • The utilization of virtual mouse appears in space saving situations or in
    movement situation.
    Literature Survey
    • HCI Technology :
    Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an area of research and practice
    that emerged in the early 1980s.
    • Gesture Recognition :
    Gesture recognition is the mathematical interpretation of a human
    motion by a computing device.

    Design
    Hardware & Software Requirement
    • Web Cam

    • C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common


    Language Infrastructure. It was developed by Microsoft .
    • OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is a library of
    programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision,
    developed by Intel.
    • OpenCV runs on Windows, Android, iOS, Linux and Mac OS.
    Advantages
    • The main advantage of using hand gestures is to interact with computer
    as a non-contact human computer input modality.
    • Reduce hardware cost by eliminating use of mouse.
    • Convenient for users not comfortable with touchpad.
    • The framework may be useful for controlling different types of games
    and other applications dependent on the controlled through user
    defined gestures.
    Limitations
    • The present application though seems to be feasible and more user
    friendly.
    • An attempt to make the input modes less constraints dependent for the
    users hand gestures has been preferred.
    • Another important aspect for the related development could be design of
    an independent gesture vocabulary framework.
    • The colour detection algorithm can cause detection problem if
    another coloured rubber in working domain of webcam.
    Future Scope
    • In the future, we plan to add more features such as enlarging and
    shrinking windows, closing window, etc. by using the palm and
    multiple fingers.

    • We can also open the browser or any drives


    (C: /D:/E: etc)with the help of hand gesutures instead of
    moving the cursor.
    Conclusion
    • We are developing a system to control the mouse cursor using a real-time
    camera.
    • This system is based on computer vision algorithms and can do all mouse
    tasks.
    • However, it is difficult to get stable results because of the variety of
    lighting and skin colors of human races.
    • This system could be useful in presentations and to reduce work space.
    • Features such as enlarging and shrinking windows, closing
    window, etc. by using the palm and multiple fingers.
