FINGER RECOGNITION AND GESTURE BASED VIRTUAL KEYBOARD

The vision based cursor control using hand gesture system was developed in the python language, using the OpenCV library.The system was able to control the movement of a Cursor by tracking the users hand. Cursor functions were performed by using different hand gestures. The system has the potential of being a viable replacement for the computer mouse, however due to the constraints encountered; it cannot completely replace the computer mouse.  We will improve the performance of the software especially hand tracking in the near future. In future, we will implement this process to control the system without the usage of keyboard and mouse completely. To design a hardware implementation for the same in order to improve accuracy and increase the functionality to various domains such as a gaming controller or as a general purpose computer controller.Other advanced implementation include the hand gesture recognition.
