Abstract
The control of patients and persons with disabilities has always been a major concern in hospitals as in homes. Research works in this field aim to control and surround patients with comfort, safety in their homes while respecting their privacy. In this paper, we propose a monitoring system based on Kinect sensors to control and monitor elderly people into a smart house. The system recognizes gestures and communicates them through a network. We test some hand gestures and how it can be recognized with this sensor.
