Some thoughts of hand detection
After finished basic shapes recognition using openCV, we would step new progress — hand recognition. I saw some researchers said computer vision as key part of artificial intellegence due to its hardness. That probably is right, because when i started the hand detection ( before recognition ), i was blocked by the algrithms to accuratly detect the hand shape. Nothing simple algrithm will be applied directly here due to the variation of hand gestures.
When i googled how to detect hand gestures, i found HandVu .
HandVu is a library of hand gesture recognition based on c++/c and openCV. According to the demoes published in web, this library looks powerful, although still is getting mature. When i tried to download the source files, i found the version hasnt been updated for years until 2006 and the downloaded binary didnt work right with alerts of *.dll files getting lost , that was probably caused by the openCV version.
Whatever, at least the HandVu library offered guidline of hand recognition.

hi i am interest to doing hand gesture recognition with perform some action(single click or double click) on computer, so could you help me,,,
Usual routine of hand’s gesture recognition includes finding out hand contours, locating the position and features of contours, and finally connecting specific actions to certain hand gestures. About details, here i am not able to provide all due to i have not yet conduct that part, but there are plenty of documents you can refer to.
hi thanks and happy for your reply,,,
please send me some sample code for detecting hand gestures ,, please,,,
