Enum CVHandGesture

Namespace

VisioForge.Core.Types.VideoProcessing

Assembly

VisioForge.Core.dll

Specifies basic hand gestures that can be recognized by the computer vision components.

public enum CVHandGesture

Fields

Fist = 0

Represents a closed hand, typically forming a fist.

Palm = 1

Represents an open hand, with fingers extended, typically forming a palm.

Remarks

This enumeration is used in conjunction with hand detection to provide a high-level interpretation of hand poses. It can be useful for simple gesture-based controls or activity recognition. Fist gesture represents a closed hand, often used for grab, select, or stop commands. Palm gesture represents an open hand with extended fingers, often used for release, accept, or navigation commands. These basic gestures form the foundation for touchless interaction systems. Applications can map gestures to specific commands: fist for pause/grab, palm for play/open. More advanced systems may extend this enumeration with pointing, thumbs up/down, peace sign, or custom gestures. Gesture recognition reliability depends on hand orientation, lighting, distance from camera, and algorithm sophistication. Consider implementing gesture hold durations or confirmation mechanisms to prevent accidental triggers. Gesture-based interfaces are valuable for accessibility, enabling control without fine motor skills or physical contact. Applications include smart TV control, presentation systems, gaming, VR/AR interfaces, and industrial HMI.
