Gesture control of ZigBee connected smart home Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IOT) are systems where Internet-enabled devices comprising sensors and actuators in the physical world can interact with the environment are connected to the Internet for monitoring and control of the “things” applying Internet protocols and web services. The growth of the IoT has influence on everyone and everything, and is expected to make great differences in the next decades. In this paper an approach of gesture control of IoT is proposed. A prototype system based on an ARM Cortex-A8 processor under embedded Linux operating system has been developed for performance study and measurement on a real-time test set-up. Test results show that the system is capable of recognizing hand gestures on real-time frame for controlling ZigBee-enabled smart home devices functioning as Internet of Things.
