First there was input of information or commands through keyboard, then touch input was introduced. Now thebig question is, What Next? The answer is Gesture Recognition. The best method for gesture recognition is throughimage processing techniques. Image viewing is one of the most used applications of a personal computer. This paperworks on controlling different functions of the image viewer through hand gesture recognition. In this paper a simple yeteffective approach has been used to zoom in, zoom out and to view different images in an image viewer. Thumb plays animportant role in the algorithm and the gestures used makes sense with the functions that these gestures are doing in theimage viewer. This paper used a 30 fps with up to 30 mega pixel camera. Furthermore, pre-processing is done tosegment the hand region from its background. The proposed algorithm can be used for controlling different applicationsas well.
