A smart TV interaction system based on hand gesture recognition by using RGB-D Sensor

In this paper, we proposed a smart TV interaction system based on hand gesture recognition. It can wholly implement a traditional TV remote´s control operation. Three hand gesture recognition methods were used in our system. Using dynamic hand gestures to realize the navigation key´s function. Static hand gesture “Victory” was set to start a virtual keyboard. Fingertips click recognition was used to detect the click event on the virtual keyboard. To verify and test the functionality and performance of the system, we design a demonstration system. We could verify that most of the smart TV operations can be accomplished by our hand gesture recognition based interaction system.
