Automobile Driving Interface Based on Hand Trajectory Recognition

In this paper, we propose auto-driving method for automobile by recognition of hand trajectory. The method consists of three main steps: hand detection, wheel detection and recognition. On the step of hand detection we extract hand from image by color model. From this step we get candidate for skin regions. The wheel detection consists of edge detection, Hough transform and wheel detection which uses mean shift algorithm. The last step in our method is recognition of hand position. The result is recognition of hand position on the wheel and rotation angle of the wheel.
