SERVO DRIVEN FINGER GESTURE CONTROL BASED ON COMPUTER VISION

 
Introduction of Project
----------------------------------
Computer vision is a technology which is increasingly in the spotlight and it is important
for everyone involved in the field of technology to understand the possibilities it presents
and its current progressively more complex and powerful cameras are being integrated
into many devices, and this in turn pushes the development of more complex vision
systems. The possibility of computer vision has boosted along with the advancement of
artificial intelligence. Computer vision is the automation of the Human Visual System so
that computers can obtain high level of understanding of the environment from digital
images and videos.
Robot vision is made up of complex algorithms, cameras and any other hardware that
enables robot to develop visual sights. So, we conclude that computer vision is the eye of
a robot. This allows machines to carry out complex visual tasks such as a robotic arm or
palm programmed to mimic a visual gesture by a human.

Motivation
----------------------------------
In this project we aim to reduce human effort with minimal human intervention. Today's
systems are reducing in size and cost, we interfaced the prototype of hand with an
Arduino UNO.
Our project provides a secure approach with the aim of lowering risk of human life. This
risk includes working in hazardous environment like mines, radioactive areas and so on.
Inaccessible areas like outer space, extreme temperature areas etc. can also be interacted
with human like precision

Problem Statement
----------------------------------
The problem is to develop the mimicking system for fingers of shown palm on the web-
cam. For this mimicking system we need to develop the palm model using computer
vision, pyfirmata and mediapipe. After the model is ready, the system will mimic same
way as our palm fingers mimic. This model will work for simple gestures or mimics.

Objectives
----------------------------------
• To detect the palm using computer vision.
• To mimic the respective gesture of fingers.

Scope and Applications
----------------------------------
This mimicking system of fingers can be applied to many fields such medical, physics,
chemistry and others where we can adopt the robotic method by replacing human hazard
and harmful zones.
