1. Introduction
1.1 Gesture Control Virtual Mouse an Overview
A mouse, in computing terms is a pointing device that detects two-dimensional movements
relative to a surface. This movement is converted into the movement of a pointer on a display
that allows to control the Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a computer platform. There are a
lot of different types of mouse that have already existed in the modern days technology,
there's the mechanical mouse that determines the movements by a hard rubber ball that rolls
around as the mouse is moved. Years later, the optical mouse was introduced that replace the
hard rubber ball to a LED sensor to detects table top movement and then sends off the
information to the computer for processing. On the year 2004, the laser mouse was then
introduced to improve the accuracy movement with the slightest hand movement, it
overcome the limitations of the optical mouse which is the difficulties to track high-gloss
surfaces. However, no matter how accurate can it be, there are still limitations exist within the
mouse itself in both physical and technical terms. For example, a computer mouse is a
consumable hardware device as it requires replacement in the long run, either the mouse
buttons were degraded that causes inappropriate clicks, or the whole mouse was no longer
detected by the computer itself.

Despite the limitations, the computer technology still continues to grow, so does the
importance of the human computer interactions. Ever since the introduction of a mobile
device that can be interact with touch screen technology, the world is starting to demand the
same technology to be applied on every technological devices, this includes the desktop
system. However, even though the touch screen technology for the desktop system is already
exist, the price can be very steep.Therefore, a virtual human computer interaction device that
replaces the physical mouse or keyboard by using a webcam or any other image capturing
devices can be an alternative way for the touch screen. This device which is the webcam will
be constantly utilized by a software that monitors the gestures given by the user in order to
process it and translate to motion of a pointes, as similar to a physical mouse.

1.2 Objective and Scope of the Project

Objective:

The purpose of this project is to develop a Virtual Mouse application that targets a few
aspects of significant development. For starters, this project aims to eliminate the needs of
having a physical mouse while able to interact with the computer system through webcam by
using various image processing techniques. Other than that, this project aims to develop a
Virtual Mouse application that can be operational on all kind of surfaces and environment.

The following describes the overall objectives of this project:

 To design to operate with the help of a webcam. The Virtual Mouse application will
be operational with the help of a webcam, as the webcam are responsible to capture
the images in real time. The application would not work if there are no webcam
detected.
 To design a virtual input that can operate on all surface. The Virtual Mouse
application will be operational on all surface and indoor environment, as long the
users are facing the webcam while doing the motion gesture.
 To program the camera to continuously capturing the images, which the images will
be analysed, by using various image processing techniques. As stated above, the
Virtual Mouse application will be continuously capturing the images in real time,
where the images will be undergoing a series of process, this includes HSV
conversion, Binary Image conversion, salt and pepper noise filtering, and more.
 To convert hand gesture/motion into mouse input that will be set to a particular screen
position. The Virtual Mouse application will be programmed to detect the position of
the defined colours where it will be set as the position of the mouse pointers.
Furthermore, a combination of different colours may result in triggering different
types of mouse events, such as the right/left clicks, scroll up/down, and more.

Scope:

Virtual Mouse that will soon to be introduced to replace the physical computer mouse to
promote convenience while still able to accurately interact and control the computer system.
To do that, the software requires to be fast enough to capture and process every image, in
order to successfully track the user's gesture. Therefore, this project will develop a software

2
application with the aid of the latest software coding technique and the open-source computer
vision library also known as the OpenCV. The scope of the project is as below:

 Real time application.

 User friendly application.
 Removes the requirement of having a physical mouse.

The process of the application can be started when the user's gesture was captured in real time
by the webcam, which the captured image will be processed for segmentation to identify
which pixels values equals to the values of the defined colour. After the segmentation is
completed, the overall image will be converted to Binary Image where the identified pixels
will show as white, while the rest are black. The position of the white segment in the image
will be recorded and set as the position of the mouse pointer, thus resulting in simulating the
mouse pointer without using a physical computer mouse. The software application is
compatible with the Windows platform. The functionality of the software will be coded with
C++ programming language code with the integration of an external library that does the
image processing known as the OpenCV.

2.1 Proposed system
2.1.1 Defining the Problem
During the process of colour recognition, it contains 2 major phases which are the calibration
phase and recognition phase. The purpose of the calibration phase is to allow the system to
recognize the = Hue Saturation Values of the colours chosen by the users, where it will store
the values and settings into text documents, which will be used later on during the recognition
phase. While on the recognition phase, the system will start to capture frames and search for
colour input with based on the values that are recorded during the calibration phase. The
phases of the virtual mouse are as shown in figure below.

Definition of Problem

1. The objective of this project is to develop a Gesture Control Virtual Mouse system
that enables users to interact with computers or other digital devices through intuitive
hand gestures, eliminating the need for traditional input devices such as a physical
mouse or touchpad. The existing input methods, although effective, often require
users to physically manipulate a device or rely on touch-based interfaces, which may
not always be convenient or practical.
2. The Gesture Control Virtual Mouse aims to address these limitations by providing a
hands-free and intuitive interface that can be used in various scenarios, such as in
environments where physical contact may be restricted (e.g., medical settings) or
where users require greater mobility (e.g., presentations or gaming). The system
should accurately interpret user gestures and convert them into corresponding mouse
movements and actions, effectively replicating the functionality of a physical mouse.
3. Key challenges that need to be addressed include the accurate and real-time detection
and tracking of hand gestures, robust gesture recognition algorithms capable of
distinguishing between different gestures and commands, and ensuring a seamless and
responsive user experience. The system should also be designed to accommodate
different users with varying hand sizes and movement styles, ensuring that the gesture
recognition remains reliable and consistent across different individuals.
4. Additionally, the project aims to provide a user-friendly interface and customizable
settings, allowing users to define their own gestures or adapt the system to suit their
specific needs. The Gesture Control Virtual Mouse should integrate smoothly with
existing operating systems and software applications, ensuring compatibility and ease
of use.

By successfully developing a Gesture Control Virtual Mouse system that addresses these
challenges, this project will contribute to enhancing user interaction and accessibility in the
digital realm, opening up new possibilities for intuitive and hands-free computing
experiences.

2.1.2 Developing Solution Strategies
 Sensor Selection: The first step in developing a Gesture Control Virtual Mouse is to
select appropriate sensors capable of accurately capturing hand movements and
gestures. Various sensors can be considered, such as cameras, depth sensors, or
wearable devices like gloves with built-in sensors. The choice of sensors should be
based on factors such as accuracy, reliability, cost, and ease of integration.
 Gesture Recognition Algorithms: Implementing robust and efficient gesture
recognition algorithms is crucial for accurately interpreting user gestures. Different
machine learning techniques, such as deep learning or pattern recognition algorithms,
can be explored to train models capable of recognizing a wide range of hand gestures
and movements. These algorithms should be capable of real-time processing to ensure
smooth and responsive interaction.
 Calibration and Personalization: To accommodate different users with varying hand
sizes and movement styles, the system should provide a calibration process to adapt to
individual preferences. This may involve allowing users to perform a series of
predefined gestures during setup to establish a baseline for gesture recognition.
Personalization options can also be provided to allow users to define custom gestures
for specific commands or actions.
 Noise and Error Handling: Hand gesture recognition can be sensitive to
environmental noise or unintended movements. Implementing noise reduction
techniques, such as filtering or smoothing algorithms, can help minimize false
detections and improve the overall accuracy of gesture recognition. Error handling
mechanisms should also be incorporated to recover from misinterpretations or
ambiguous gestures.
 User Interface Design: The user interface plays a significant role in the usability of the
Gesture Control Virtual Mouse. Designing an intuitive and visually informative
interface that provides feedback on recognized gestures and cursor movements is
essential. The interface should be designed to be easily understandable and
customizable to accommodate different user preferences.
 Integration and Compatibility: The Gesture Control Virtual Mouse should be
seamlessly integrated into existing operating systems and software applications. This
requires developing appropriate drivers or APIs to ensure compatibility and smooth

6
 interaction with popular operating systems, as well as providing support for common
software applications.

6. Exploratory Data Analysis

EDA is an approach to analysing the data using visual techniques. It is used to discover
trends, and patterns, or to check assumptions with the help of statistical summaries and
graphical representations.

While performing the EDA of the Reliance Stock Price data we will analyse how prices of the
stock have moved over the period of time and how the end of the quarters affects the prices of
the stock.

25
 Fig 13: Trend Analysis

The prices of Reliance Power stocks are showing a mix trend of upward trend and downward
trend as depicted by the plot of the closing price of the stocks.

 7. Head Description for similar data

Fig 14: Determining identical data

If we observe carefully, we can see that there is no similar data that we have generated after
our calculation.

27
 8. Checking for the availability of null values

Fig 15: Confirming Null values

This implies that there are no null values in the data set provided.

28
 9. Creating SubPlots

Fig 16: Subplot for the Open, High, Low, Close, WAP, No.shares

In the distribution plot of OHLC data, we can see two peaks which means the data has varied
significantly in two regions. And the No. of shares data is left-skewed.

29
 10. Creating BoxPlot

Fig 17: BoxPlot for the Open, High, Low, Close, WAP, No.shares

From the above boxplots, we can conclude that only volume data contains outliers in it but
the data in the rest of the columns are free from any outlier.

11. Feature Engineering

Feature Engineering helps to derive some valuable features from the existing ones. These
extra features sometimes help in increasing the performance of the model significantly and
certainly help to gain deeper insights into the data.

30
 Fig 18: Deriving the data of Month, Day, Year

Now we have three more columns namely ‘day’, ‘month’ and ‘year’ all these three have been
derived from the ‘Date’ column which was initially provided in the data.

31
 12. Determining whether it is a Quarter end or not using Boolean values

Fig 19: Determining Quarter End

A quarter is defined as a group of three months. Every company prepares its quarterly results
and publishes them publicly so, that people can analyse the company’s performance. These
quarterly results affect the stock prices heavily which is why we have added this feature
because this can be a helpful feature for the learning model.

32
 13. Creating Bar graph

Fig 20: Bar Chart for the Reliance Data

From the above bar graph, we can conclude that the stock prices increased by 50% from year
2021 to that in 2022.

33
 14. Calculating Quarter End

Fig 21: Price Differences of Quarter End

Here are some of the important observations of the above-grouped data:

Prices are higher in the months which are quarter end as compared to that of the non-quarter
end months.

The WAP of trades is lower in the months which are quarter end.

15. Creating Pie-Chart

Above we have added some more columns which will help in the training of our model. We
have added the target feature which is a signal whether to buy or not we will train our model
to predict this only. But before proceeding let’s check whether the target is balanced or not
using a pie chart.

34
 Fig 22: Creating Pie Chart for the Reliance Data

When we add features to our dataset, we have to ensure that there are no highly correlated
features as they do not help in the learning process of the algorithm.

35
 16. Creating Heatmap

Fig 23: Heat map determining various values

From the above heatmap, we can say that there is a high correlation between OHLC that is
pretty obvious, and the added features are not highly correlated with each other or previously
provided features which means that we are good to go and build our model.

36
 17. Data Splitting and Normalization

Fig 24: Data Splitting and Normalization

After selecting the features to train the model on we should normalize the data because
normalized data leads to stable and fast training of the model. After that whole data has been
split into two parts with a 90/10 ratio so, that we can evaluate the performance of our model
on unseen data.

18. Model Development and Evaluation

Now is the time to train some state-of-the-art machine learning models (Logistic Regression,
Support Vector Machine, XGBClassifier), and then based on their performance on the
training and validation data we will choose which ML model is serving the purpose at hand
better.

For the evaluation metric, we will use the ROC-AUC curve but why this is because instead of
predicting the hard probability that is 0 or 1, we would like it to predict soft probabilities that
are continuous values between 0 to 1. And with soft probabilities, the ROC-AUC curve is
generally used to measure the accuracy of the predictions.

37
 Fig 25: Training Accuracy and Validation Accuracy Value after pridiction

Among the three models, we have trained XGBClassifier has the highest performance but it
is pruned to overfitting as the difference between the training and the validation accuracy is
too high. But in the case of the Logistic Regression, this is not the case.

Conclusion
The provided code snippet demonstrates the use of a linear regression model to predict the
closing prices of a stock based on given features. Here's a conclusion based on the code:

Data Preparation: The code reads the data from a CSV file named 'Reliance Power.csv' using
pandas and splits it into features (X) and the target variable (y). The features include 'Open
Price', 'High Price', 'Low Price', 'WAP', and 'No.of Shares'.

Train-Test Split: The data is further split into training and testing sets using the
train_test_split function from scikit-learn. The testing set size is set to 20% of the data, and a
random state of 2022 is used for reproducibility.

Feature Scaling: The features in the training and testing sets are scaled using the
StandardScaler from scikit-learn. The scaling is applied to normalize the feature values.

Model Training: A linear regression model is instantiated using the LinearRegression class
from scikit-learn. The model is trained on the scaled training data using the fit method.

Prediction and Evaluation: Predictions are made on the scaled testing set using the trained
model, and the mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and Root Mean-
squared (r2) scores are calculated to evaluate the model's performance. The evaluation
metrics are printed to the console.

47
Prediction on New Data: Additionally, the code demonstrates making predictions on new,
unseen data. Two rows of data are read from the 'Reliance Power.csv' file, containing the
same features used for training the model. The new data is then scaled using the same scaler,
and the model predicts the corresponding closing prices. The predicted prices are printed to
the console.

In conclusion, the code trains a linear regression model on historical stock data and evaluates
its performance using various metrics. It also shows how to use the trained model to predict
the closing prices of new, unseen data.

22. Comparison With Existing Models

Fig 29: System Design for Model Comparison

Using the Alteryx Software, we Designed a system which is being used to compare our
Decision Tree based model with the existing model Arima and ETS.

48
 23. RMS, MAE and ME Values of ARIMA & ETS Model

Fig 30: RMS, MEA & ME value of Arima and ETS Model

AS we can observe in the above output the RMS (Root Mean Square), MAE and ME value
for the ARIMA and ETS model is 1369 for the given dataset on which the system is
constructed.

49
 24. RMS, MAE & ME Values of Decision Tree Model

Fig 31: RMS, MAE & ME value of Decision Tree Model

AS we can observe in the above output the RMS (Root Mean Square), MAE and ME value
for the Decision Tree model is just 319 for the given dataset on which the system is
constructed which very less when compared with the existing models ARIMA and ETS.

Conclusion
Based on the derived output and the significantly lower RMS value, the Decision Tree model
appears to be better than the ARIMA & ETS model in terms of predictive performance.
However, it is advisable to consider other factors and evaluate the models comprehensively
before drawing a definitive conclusion.

A lower RMS value indicates better model performance, as it represents the average
magnitude of the residuals (prediction errors) of the model. Therefore, in this case, the
Decision Tree model with an RMS value of 319 performs better than the ARIMA & ETS
model with an RMS value of 1369.

The Decision Tree model outperforms the ARIMA & ETS model because it has a
significantly lower RMS value. This implies that the Decision Tree model's predictions are
closer to the actual values compared to the ARIMA & ETS model. The Decision Tree model
captures the underlying patterns and relationships in the data more effectively, resulting in
more accurate predictions.

50
It's important to note that the superiority of the Decision Tree model in this comparison does
not imply that Decision Trees are always better than ARIMA & ETS models. The choice of
the model depends on various factors such as the nature of the data, the problem at hand, and
the assumptions of the models. In different scenarios, ARIMA & ETS models might be more
suitable or could provide better results.

Limitations:

Following are some of the limitations of this project:

66
 Accuracy and Recognition Challenges: One of the primary limitations of gesture
control systems is the challenge of accurately recognizing and interpreting gestures.
Environmental factors such as lighting conditions, background noise, or occlusions
can affect the system's accuracy. Similarly, different users may have variations in their
hand shapes, sizes, or movements, leading to inconsistencies in gesture recognition.
These limitations can result in misinterpretation or incorrect execution of gestures.
 Learning Curve and User Adaptation: Gesture control and mouse control systems
often require users to learn and memorize specific gestures or hand movements. This
learning curve may vary among users, with some individuals finding it more
challenging to adapt to the system. The need for precise and specific gestures can also
lead to a higher cognitive load, especially when users need to remember numerous
gestures or perform complex sequences of movements.
 Limited Gesture Vocabulary: Gesture control systems typically support a limited
vocabulary of recognized gestures. While essential gestures are usually recognized,
systems may struggle to accurately interpret more nuanced or complex gestures. This
limitation restricts the range of interactions and actions that users can perform,
potentially hindering the system's versatility.
 Environmental Dependencies: Gesture control systems can be sensitive to
environmental factors, such as background lighting, noise, or cluttered surroundings.
Changes in lighting conditions or the presence of other objects in the environment
may affect the system's ability to detect and interpret gestures accurately. These
environmental dependencies may limit the system's reliability and performance in
different settings.
 Hardware and Infrastructure Requirements: Gesture control and mouse control
systems often rely on specialized hardware, such as depth-sensing cameras or sensors.
These hardware requirements may limit the accessibility and scalability of the
systems, as users need to have the necessary devices to interact with the system.
Additionally, infrastructure setup and calibration may be required, which can be time-
consuming and cumbersome.
 User Fatigue and Physical Strain: Extended use of gesture control systems, especially
for tasks requiring continuous hand movements or prolonged interaction, can lead to
user fatigue and physical strain. Holding certain hand positions or performing
repetitive gestures may strain the muscles and cause discomfort. This limitation can

67
 affect the system's usability for long durations or in scenarios that demand extensive
gestures.
 Presentation Control Constraints: Presentation control systems, which often rely on
gestures or wireless presenters, may have limitations in range and line-of-sight
requirements. Presenters need to be within a certain range of the computer or
presentation system for reliable communication. Obstructions or interference between
the presenter and the receiver can impact the effectiveness of presentation control.
 Contextual Limitations: Gesture control and presentation control systems may
struggle with contextual understanding and differentiation. For example,
distinguishing between intentional gestures and unintentional hand movements or
accurately interpreting gestures in complex or crowded environments can be
challenging. These limitations may result in unintended actions or gestures being
misinterpreted as commands.
