Title
Vision-Based User Interface for Mouse and Multi-mouse System
Abstract
This paper proposes a vision-based methodology that recognizes the users' fingertips so that the users can perform various mouse operations by gestures as well as implements multi-mouse operations. By using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm, the system retrieves the coordinates of the finger from the palm of the hand. The system also recognizes the users' intended operation on the mouse through the movements of recognized fingers. When the system recognizes several palms of hands, it changes its mode to the multi-mouse mode so that several users can coordinate their works on the same screen. The number of mice is the number of recognized palms. In order to implement our proposal, we have employed the Kinect motion capture camera and have used the tracking function of the Kinect to recognize the fingers of users. Operations on the mouse pointers are reflected in the coordinates of the detected fingers. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal, we have conducted several user experiments. We have observed that the Kinect is suitable equipment to implement the multi-mouse operations. The users who participated in the experiments quickly learned the multi-mouse environment and performed naturally in front of the Kinect motion capture camera.
