The vision-based hand gesture is an important problem in the field of humancomputer interaction since hand motion and gesture could potentially interact with computers in more natural ways. This paper is focused on control of mobile service robot based on visionbased hand gesture recognition. The database of five hand gesture commands is created and the cross-correlation find the similarity between the captured hand image. This approach contains image pre-processing, segmentation of the region, feature extraction, classification using crosscorrelation and gesture recognition. In this method, the user can control the robot by using the gesture of the hand, thereby interacting with the robot system. The commands are generated according to the hand gesture for controlling the robot direction. Experimental results show that this method can get a high recognition rate of hand gesture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
