Gesture Based Driving System

Abstract

This project is to demonstrate that accelerometers can be used to effectively translate finger and hand gestures into computer interpreted signals. For gesture recognition the accelerometer data is calibrated and filtered. The accelerometers can measure the magnitude and direction of gravity in addition to movement induced acceleration. In order to calibrate the accelerometers, we rotate the device’s sensitive axis with respect to gravity and use the resultant signal as an absolute measurement. The purpose of this project is to drive the vehicle using MEMS and to control its directions without using the steering. Accelerometers are attached to the fingertips and back of the hand. Arrows on the hand show the location of accelerometers and their sensitive directions. That the sensitive direction of the accelerometer is in the plane of the hand. In this project controlling of the vehicle is done by MEMS accelerometer. Depending on the direction of the MEMS, the microcontroller receives different signals and it is encoded and transmitted to the vehicle section. In the vehicle section, this data is received and decoded and then given to the microcontroller. Depending on the received direction, the microcontroller runs the vehicle using the motor driver and the motors. The wireless communication is done using the RF communication.
