Real-Time Robotic Hand Control Using Hand Gestures
Interpretation of human gestures by a computer is used for human-machine interaction in the area of computer vision . The main purpose of gesture recognition research is to identify a particular human gesture and convey information to the user pertaining to individual gesture. From the corpus of gestures, specific gesture of interest can be identified, and on the basis of that, specific command for execution of action can be given to robotic system. Overall aim is to make the computer understand human body language , thereby bridging the gap between machine and human. Hand gesture recognition can be used to enhance human–computer interaction without depending on traditional input devices such as keyboard and mouse. Hand gestures are extensively used for telerobotic control applications . Robotic systems can be controlled naturally and intuitively with such telerobotic communication . A prominent benefit of such a system is that it presents a natural way to send geometrical information to the robot such as: left, right, etc. Robotic hand can be controlled remotely by hand gestures. Research is being carried out in this area for a long time. Several approaches have been developed for sensing hand movements and controlling robotic hand . Glove based technique is a well-known means of recognizing hand gestures. It utilizes sensor attached mechanical glove devices that directly measure hand and/or arm joint angles and spatial position. Although glove-based gestural interfaces give more precision, it limits freedom as it requires users to wear cumbersome patch of devices. Jae-Ho Shin et al used entropy analysis to extract hand region in complex background for hand gesture recognition system. Robot controlling is done by fusion of hand positioning and arm gestures using data gloves. Although it gives more precision, it limits freedom due to necessity of wearing gloves. For capturing hand gestures correctly, proper light and camera angles are required. A technique to manage light source and view angles, in an efficient way for capturing hand gestures, is given in . Reviews have been written on the subsets of hand postures and gesture recognition in and . The problem of visual hand recognition and…

Introduction to The investigation of the mixture formation upon fuel injection into high-temperature gas flows
Combustion of a fuel in the combustion chambers of a gas-turbine engine and a gas-turbine plant is closely connected with the processes of mixing (Lefebvre, 1985). Investigations of these processes carried out by both experimental and computational methods have recently become especially crucial because of the necessity of solving ecological problems. One of the most pressing problems at present is account for the influence of droplets on an air flow. In some of the regimes of chamber operation this may lead to a substantial, almost twofold, change in the long range of a fuel spray and, consequently, to corresponding changes in the distributions of the concentrations of fuel phases. In this chapter physical models of the processes of interphase heat and mass transfer and computational techniques based on them are suggested. The present work is a continuation of research by Maiorova & Tretyakov, 2008. We set out to calculate the fields of air velocity and temperature as well as of the distribution of a liquid fuel in module combustion chambers with account for the processes of heating and evaporation of droplets in those regimes typical of combustion chambers in which there is a substantial interphase exchange. It is clear that when a "cold" fuel is supplied into a "hot" air flow, the droplets are heated and the air surrounding them is cooled. It is evident that at small flow rates of the fuel this cooling can be neglected. The aim of this work is to answer two questions: how much the air flow is cooled by fuel in the range of parameters typical of real combustion chambers, and how far the region of flow cooling extends. Moreover, the dependence of the flow…
