Touchless Writer A Hand Gesture Recognizer For English Characters

Abstract
Gesture recognition is a field of computer science wherein the human gestures are interpreted via mathematical algorithms. Hand gesture recognition is one of the widely focussed areas in this field. The earlier method of using data gloves or high sensitivity sensors, to provide input to the system, proves a costly affair. The current paper deals with the English character recognition of the upper case. The system takes the gesture input done by means of a coloured object through the webcam. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) serves a useful method for the pattern recognition of the characters given as input. Thus by using cheap hardware like webcam, we can extend the use to various applications like gaming, paint, etc. Keywords: Gesture recognition is a field of computer science wherein the human gestures are interpreted via mathematical algorithms.
