Interaction with UAV Formation based on Gesture Recognition with Leap Motion

UAV formation can combine different aircraft platforms and mission loads, and it also can give full play to the quantity and coordination advantages of formation. At present, a single UAV generally adopts human-computer interaction modes such as mouse, keyboard and sense of operation. When this interaction mode performs more complex combat tasks for UAV formations, its interaction performance and efficiency are often greatly restricted. In this paper, based on Leap Motion gesture recognition equipment, online recognition methods as well as operation and control strategies of various gesture categories for UAV formation operation and control are designed. Through classifying and redeveloping the recognizable gesture contents, control instructions for UAV formation are generated, which can be used to improve the human-computer interaction efficiency of UAV formation.
