Hand tracking and recognition of bimanual movements
This project aims to recognise the bimanual gestures. Activities where bimanual movements are important include clapping, sign language, opening a wine bottle, typing on keyboard, eating with knife and fork, drumming, guiding a pilot driving an aircraft to the parking, etc. Tracking the hands in these type of movement is crucial. Also, in some applications like sign language there are many different bimanual movements. A system is required to recognise different movements in discrete and continuous manners.

Real-Time gesture
recognition of human hand
We aim to build a system which can recognise a significant number of signs from a sign language for the Deaf
such as ISL (Irish Sign Language). The system should be able to run on a standard PC and use only a single
webcam. The webcam feeds live video images to the PC where they are processed.
The multi-scale approach works by using the idea of "divide-and-conquer". In this approach every single image is blurred at different stages in order to make a hierarchical database of shapes.This technique reduces the time for searching the known hand shapes dramatically. A hidden Markov model uses the hierarchical database to extract the shapes for recognition.

Interacting with computers using hand gestures
In order to interact with computers with no physical connection a gesture recognition system is required. In this project we control a mouse pointer by hand gestures and communicate with a PC. This system uses statistical pattern recognition techniques and state machines in order to enable the user do all the tasks provided in an MS Windows environment such as moving, clicking, selecting, cutting and pasting, etc.

Classification for recognition of hand-written digits
A new statistical approach which is based on a hierarchical database of hand written digits is used to recognise the digits.
