A Brief Study on Automatic Music Control System using Image Processing

Abstract

The scope of our project is to control a music player using human gestures. This employs a camera along with an embedded system to segment human gestures and convert them to control signals in real-time. With the help of the Music Controller, one can simply wave or do a simple gesture of hand movement in front of the webcam which will in turn switch or pause the particular music track that was being played. Our project mainly focuses on scenarios where we are multitasking that is working on many applications at a time or running various programs at a time on our desktop and along with that listening to music in background that is music being played in one of the windows. At such times if we wish to pause or switch a particular music track we have to make some movements like switching to the music window and doing the desired operation. With the help of Music Controller, one can simply wave or do a simple gesture of hand movement in front of the webcam which will in turn switch or pause the particular music track that was being played.
