GPU Accelerated Contactless Human Machine Interface for Driving Car

Abstract: In this paper we present an original contactless human machine interface for driving car. The proposed framework is based on the image sent by a simple camera device, which is then processed by various computer vision algorithms. These algorithms allow the isolation of the user's hand on the camera frame and translate its movements into orders sent to the computer in a real time process. The optimization of the implemented algorithms on graphics processing unit leads to real time interaction between the user, the computer and the machine. The user can easily modify or create the interfaces displayed by the proposed framework to fit his personnel needs. A contactless driving car interface is here produced to illustrate the principle of our framework.
