Methods, systems, and products for gesture-activation
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed recognizing gestures. A sequence of images is captured by a camera and compared to a stored sequence of images in memory. A gesture is then recognized in the stored sequence of images.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a sequence of images captured by a camera;
retrieving a stored sequence of images from memory;
comparing, by a processor, the sequence of images to the stored sequence of images; and
recognizing a gesture in an image in the sequence of images.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising associating the gesture to an appliance.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising associating the gesture to an operation.
4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising performing the operation.
5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising indicating the operation is performed.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising receiving a video signal representing the sequence of images.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising sampling to form the sequence of images.
8. A system, comprising:
a processor;
memory; and
code stored in the memory that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receive a sequence of images captured by a camera;
retrieve a stored sequence of images;
compare the sequence of images to the stored sequence of images; and
recognize a gesture in an image in the sequence of images.
9. The system according to claim 8 , further comprising code that causes the processor to associate the gesture to an appliance.
10. The system according to claim 8 , further comprising code that causes the processor to associate the gesture to an operation.
11. The system according to claim 10 , further comprising code that causes the processor to perform the operation.
12. The system according to claim 11 , further comprising code that causes the processor to indicate the operation is performed.
13. The system according to claim 8 , further comprising code that causes the processor to receive a video signal representing the sequence of images.
14. The system according to claim 8 , further comprising code that causes the processor to sample to form the sequence of images.
15. A method, comprising:
receiving a sequence of images captured by a camera;
retrieving a set of images from memory;
comparing, by a processor, the sequence of images to the set of images;
recognizing a gesture in an image in the sequence of images; and
associating the gesture to an operation of an appliance.
16. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising selecting the operation from predefined operations.
17. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising searching a data store for the operation.
18. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising performing the operation.
19. The method according to claim 18 , further comprising indicating the operation has been performed.
20. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising sampling to form the sequence of images.
