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.
