Algorithm for fingers counting gestures using IR-UWB radar sensor

Abstract

In this paper, an algorithm for detecting the gestures based on counting the fingers is presented. We have used a single radar sensor to detect the fingers of the human hand. Finger counter may provide an easy human computer interface (HCI) which may be used in many applications such vehicular applications, menu selection or Television remote control. In this paper, we have implemented five gestures corresponding to the number of fingers of the hand which change it’s position from down to up sequentially during the gesture duration.
