MeMouse

Abstract

MeMouse is interactive software that has been developed to control presentations in real time environment. Various products are available to facilitate presentation that includes hardware support like digital presenters and smart boards. It has been observed in our system that the presentation screen 2 and computer are not placed in a way that user initiates any mouse operation instantly. It is time-consuming and it also affects the attention of the presenter as well. Hence, a concept that facilitates the presenter during presentation using his hand gestures has been presented. Using digital image processing techniques, software has been developed that enables the user to perform the mouse operations using hand gestures. These gestures can trigger mouse operations when user is present at the point of presentation. The properties that have been used to extract hand are skin color detection are motion, using HSL values and edge detection. Tracking of hand has been made efficient using the Kalman Filter. Time dependent gestures for Single Click, Double Click and Right Click have been included. The message is passed to Windows API accordingly and operations are performed. The software has been developed in C# .net and tested using scrum methodology. Unit, integration and system testing have been performed. Required results have been achieved more than 80% depending upon different constraints.
