Presently, the automotive environment consists of various electronic systems embedded for the comfort of end user. The infotainment system is one of such embedded feature incorporated in advance automobiles. A typical infotainment device consists of radio, media player and telephone features as its basic application. The growing popularity of these infotainment systems implies the scope for development in the entire domain of product design for generating a console application. The traditional method for interaction with these infotainment systems involves manual operations assisted with a remote control. Thus, exploring infotainment systems for effective human machine interface (HMI) techniques is to be done, aiming for a better solution. Gesture based interaction is a new possibility for having communication with these infotainment system. The use of gesture interface provides t...

These systems are manually operated and require physical contact for interaction. In the present scenario the consumers are demanding a smart phone like experience from the vehicle's console unit. Thus, there is a wide scope for enhancing the mode of interaction and introducing a touch less interface system. The gesture interface approach is a new possibility in this domain. In this method the skin detection plays an important role in segmenting hand region. There are various approaches for hand detection based on skin region identification. The fundamental challenge in skin detection lies in various factors such as illumination, background, camera characteristics, and ethnicity. The gesture detection in automotive environment is further challenging task due to significant impact of wide variation in light, continuous changing background and hindrance caused by vehicle movement. In the present work, design of hand gesture interface for rear seat passenger is discussed. The interface is developed to interact with media player application of infotainment system based on efficient skin detection technique. The objectives of work include study of various skin color modeling, analysis of combination of color spaces, study of hand feature extraction and recognition techniques, design of lab setup for experimentation, implementing gesture interface to access media player application of an infotainment system. The developed prototype lab set up is used for analyzing the skin classifiers and designing a Hi-Vi skin classifier. Further, a user friendly interface is developed using Hi-Vi algorithm with multimode interface features. The evaluation of developed system shows high TPR and low FPR.

It proves to be intuitive, user friendly and effective solution for many applications. Introducing the gesture interface in automotive environment is a new possibility and significant research work is in progression to implement it as a unique feature. Designing a typical gesture interface in automotive environment has influence of interior area and light conditions. Additionally, the design should provide a faithful response while the automotive is in motion considering the hindrance while passing over speed breakers and during sudden turns. Thus, considering the challenges in automotive environment it is required to study a gesture interface system with respect to automotive domain and optimize its specifications for developing a console application. The purpose of gesture base design in the automotive domain is to enhance comfort level while minimizing the d...
