Android phone as interface in human-computer interaction

Minh Hoa Le, Soongsil University, Corea

We propose a human-centered interface, which has been completely built and independently run on an Android phone G1 of Google. Video frames are streamed through its camera as the image input to the interface that was employed techniques involving image processing, computer vision and graphics to identify automatically absolute positions of human face, neck and two hands. Simultaneously experiment paradigms embed this interface to perceive the human beings’ postures and then, recognize human gestures in a semaphore flag signaling system or convert these into relaxed comic character according to its context. The interface plays a promising bridge for interactive systems such as human computer interaction or user oriented applications.
