Paper Title
Hand Gesture Recognition System using Deep Learning
Abstract
Hand gestures are an effective form of communication for everyone. Hand gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to better understand human body language, thus building a richer relationship between humans and computers rather than the traditional text based or GUI based approach.
Hand gestures can make tasks simpler by giving commands to the computer with simple movements of the hands. The gestures are captured by the camera, interpreted by the computer and appropriate action is taken in response to the gesture This project is based on hand gesture recognition to capture the hand gestures and convert them to commands understand- able by the machine and perform appropriate tasks. In this project we firstly capture the gesture using a camera. The captured image then undergoes pre-processing for feature extraction and implement convolutional neural network using Back Propagation Algorithm to effectively recognize the gestures and train the machine.
