Human Pose and Action Recognition

In this modern age the advancement in ubiquitous computing has made the use of natural user interface very much required. The presence of computers and making use of the facilities of human computer interaction in our societies will obviously bring and mark a positive impact on our societies. Either it was the day when the technologies had not been so advanced or todays when the technologies has been advanced so much that we spent most of our times to communicate, play, do our jobs with the machines and many more, even then human beings had used and are still using a broad range of gestures to communicate or interact with each other. Human gesture is a mode of non - verbal interaction medium and can provide the most intuitive, originative and natural way to interact with computers. Our main goal is to make the interaction between human and computer as natural as the interaction between humans. The objective of this paper is to recognize the static hand gesture images (i.e. frames) based on shapes and orientations of hand which is extracted from input video stream recorded in stable lighting and simple background conditions. We can use this vision based recognized gestures to control multimedia applications (like Windows Media Player, Windows Picture Manager, VLC Player etc.) running on computer using different gestural commands.
