VOLUME AND BRIGHTNESS CONTROL USING HAND GESTURES

Abstract

We are developing a volume and brightness controller in which we are using hand gestures as the
input to control the system,Opencv module is basically used in this implementation to control the gesture. Hand
gesture recognition system has developed excessively in the recent years, reason being its ability to cooperate
with machine successfully. Gestures are considered as the most natural way for communication among human
and PCs in virtual framework. We often use hand gestures to convey something as it is non-verbal
communication which is free of expression. In our system, we used background subtraction to extract hand
region. In this application, our PC's camera records a live video, from which a preview is taken with the
assistance of its functionalities or activities. This system basically uses the web camera to record or capture the
images /videos and accordingly on the basis of the input, the volume and brightness of the system is controlled by
this application. The main function is to increase and decrease the volume and brightness of the system. The
project is implemented using Python, OpenCV.
