1. Abstract: Hand gesture recognition is most emerging field of image-processing. It can be used in numerous applications. There are many patients who cannot walk due to problem in their lower limb, due to paralysis or some other reason. They need a permanent attendee for their day to day works which is quite difficult in today’s busy schedule. There is not so much advancement on hand gesture recognition for a patient which is the need of hour. So, this paper explains a system of A Robust Hand Gesture Recognition system using Shape Parameters. The work is mainly divided in three parts as Hand detection, Gesture Recognition and Displaying Message. The patient performs gesture in front of webcam. The system does various pre-processing steps like converting image to binary image, filtering, erosion and dilation etc. and then by calculating the parameter of the image recognized; displays the message accordingly. If gesture is not recognized, then message of Gesture not Identified is displayed.
