SYSTEM DESIGN
 4.SYSTEM DESIGN

4.1 System Design:

There are two main steps in the process of color recognition: the calibration
phase and the recognition phase. In the calibration phase, which will be utilized later
in the recognition phase, the system will be able to identify the Hue Saturation
Values of the colors selected by the users. It will save the parameters and settings
into text documents for later use. The system will begin to take frames during the
recognition phase and look for color input based on the values that have been stored
during the calibration process phase. The following figure depicts the stages of the
virtual mouse:

Figure 4.1: Virtual Mouse Block Diagram.

17
4.2 Recognition Phase:

a) Webcam and variable initialization:

Early in the recognition phase, the software will initialize the necessary
variables that will be used to store various frame kinds and value ranges, each of
which will be used to complete a specific task. Additionally, during this phase, the
program gathers the calibrated HSV values and settings that will be applied later
during the Binary Threshold transitions.

b) Real Time Image Acquisition:

Using (cv: Video Capture cap (0)), the real-time picture is taken using the
camera. Each image is placed into a frame variable (cv: Mat), which is then flipped
and compressed to a manageable size to lessen process load.

c) Frame noise Filtering:

The noise in the collected frames will be reduced using Gaussian filters, just
like it was done during the calibration step.

d) HSV frame transition:

It is necessary to change the captured frame's format from BGR to HSV. using
cvtColor (src, dst, CV_BGR2HSV) for example.

e) Binary Threshold Transition:

A range check will be performed on the converted HSV frame to see if the
HSV values fall within the range of the HSV variables collected during the calibration
step. The frame will be converted into the binary system Threshold as a consequence
of the range check, with a portion of the frame being set to 255 (1 bit) if the frame
falls within the given HSV values and to 0 (0 bit) otherwise.

f) Binary Threshold Morphological Transmission:

After obtaining the binary threshold, the frame will go through a procedure
termed morphological conversion, which is a structural operation to get rid of any
foreground gaps and tiny objects. Erosion and Dilation are two morphological
operators that make up the transformation. In order to remove minor sounds, the
Erosion operator works by eroding the foreground object's edges and reducing the
area of the binary limit. In terms of dilation, it is the reverse of erosion and raises the
binary threshold area, allowing an item that has been eroded to regain its former
shape.

g) Color Combination Comparison:

The software will determine the remainder of the number of objects by
highlighting them as blobs after collecting the results from the morphological
transformation process; this procedure 2223 necessitates the use of the cvblob library,
an OpenCV add-on. In order to identify how the mouse behaves according to the
color configurations identified within the collected frames, the calculation's findings
will then be sent for comparison.

18
h) Colors’ Coordinates Acquisition:
The program will display the general shape of each object that falls within the
binary threshold where it will compute the shape's area and midpoint coordinates.
The coordinates will be kept and utilized subsequently to execute different mouse
operations based on the data gathered, either in setting cursor positions or in
calculating the separation between each of the spots.

i) Execution of Mouse Action:

Based on the color combinations found in the processed frame, the application
will carry out mouse operations. The mouse movements will be carried out in
accordance with the coordinates that the software has supplied, and the application
will keep acquiring and processing new real-time images up until the users depart it.
The color combinations that cause and carry out mouse actions are described as
follows:

Mouse Function Color Combination

Moving Initial color (e.g. Blue)

Left Click Up (Un-pinch gesture) First Color ₊ Second

Color (e.g. Blue₊ Green)

Left Click Down (pinch gesture) First Color ₊ Second

Color (e.g. Blue ₊ Green)

Right Click First Color ₊ Third Color (e.g.

Blue₊Red)

4.3 METHODOLOGY

MEDIAPIPE METHODOLOGY:

Figure 4.3: Co-Ordinates or Land Marks in the Hand

20
4.4 Application Layout:

Users must choose from the options in the primary menu since each option leads to a
distinct function of the program when the application first launches in a console
window. Users will get an error notice and be sent back to the primary menu if they
choose the wrong choice. In order to get the best accuracy and performance possible
during the recognition phase, the user can select and calibrate the preferred colors
using the second option. In addition, the third option gives the user the ability to
change the program's settings, such as the camera options, feedback window size,
and other things.

When the first option is selected, the application will launch several processes,
initialize the necessary variables, and then start showing several windows that show
the binary limit and the HSV track-bars of individual colors, as well as a main
window that shows the live-captured frame. Users can make minor adjustments to the
HSV track-bars that are provided in order to increase the precision of color detection.
Users must, however, have a rudimentary understanding of the HSV color model in
order to set the track-bars correctly; otherwise, the recognition process as a whole
could go awry. Each trackbar serves the following purposes:

No. Track-Bar Name Purpose

ⅰ H1 The upper boundaries of Hue plan

ii H2 The lower boundaries of Hue plan

iii S1 The upper boundaries of Saturation plan

Iv S2 The lower boundaries of Saturation plan

v V1 The upper boundaries of Value plan

vi V2 The lower boundaries of value plan

Table 4.4: The Dynamic Track-bars Setup for Changing HSV Values

Two distinct regions, each with a red and black outline, make up the "Live"
feedback window, which shows the real-time frame. The area that was highlighted in
red denotes the dimension of the real display that users are utilizing, since the
coordinates provided inside that area correspond to an accurate depiction on the
actual monitor. The other two colors (for example, Green and Red) are only
identifiable within the targeted zone, which is the area that was indicated in black.

4.6 PROCESS MODEL

4.6.1 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:

25
4.6.2 Algorithm Used:

1. Hand Detection:
The algorithm begins by detecting the presence of a hand in the webcam feed.
This is often done using techniques like background subtraction or deep learning-
based object detection models such as YOLO (You Only Look Once) or SSD (Single
Shot MultiBox Detector).
Once a hand is detected, it is segmented from the background to isolate it for
further processing.

2. Hand Gesture Recognition:

After segmentation, the algorithm analyzes the hand's movements and shapes
to recognize gestures. This can involve extracting features like hand position,
orientation, and finger positions.
Machine learning techniques such as Support Vector Machines (SVM),
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), or Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) can be
used to classify these gestures based on the extracted features.

3. Mouse Control:
Once a gesture is recognized, the algorithm maps it to specific mouse actions,
such as cursor movement or clicking.
Hand movements in specific directions can correspond to cursor movement in
the corresponding direction on the screen. Certain hand poses or gestures can trigger
mouse clicks or other actions.

4. Feedback and Optimization:

The algorithm continuously receives feedback based on the user's interactions
with the virtual mouse. This feedback can be used to refine the gesture recognition
model, improve accuracy, and enhance the user experience.
Techniques like online learning or reinforcement learning may be employed to
adapt the algorithm over time based on user behavior.

Overall, the algorithm combines computer vision techniques for hand

detection and gesture recognition with machine learning models to enable intuitive
control of the mouse cursor using hand gestures captured from a webcam feed.

Figure 5.2: Graphic Chart of AI Virtual Mouse Accuracy

5.2.1 Comparison

Optical mouse illuminates the surface with infrared LED light. While the
Laser mouse illuminates the surface with a laser beam. Optical mouse senses the top
of the surface it’s on. Laser mouse senses peaks and valleys in a surface. Optical
mouse works better on mouse pads and non-glossy surface. Laser mouse has no such
preferred surfaces.

5.3 Conclusion:

The main objective of the AI virtual mouse system is to control the mouse
cursor functions by using the hand gestures instead of using a physical mouse. AI
virtual mouse system has performed very well and has a greater accuracy compared
to the existing models and also the model overcomes most of the limitations of the
existing systems. Since the proposed model has greater accuracy, the AI virtual mouse
can be used for real-world applications, and also, it can be used to reduce the spread
of COVID-19, since the proposed mouse system can be used virtually using hand
gestures without using the traditional physical mouse. The model has some
limitations such as small decrease in accuracy in right click mouse function and some
difficulties in clicking and dragging to select the text. Hence, we will work next to
overcome these limitations by improving the fingertip detection algorithm to produce
more accurate results.
