Abstract:

In order to satisfy the needs of people’s intelligent home environment, this paper proposes an intelligent home control system based on gesture recognition technology. To obtain and recognize gestures of human by the depth data,skeleton data and 3D point clouds uses Kinect.The Arduino microprocessor is used to process the received data to realize the intelligent control of home appliances. The body mass index BMI was generated by the acquired biological characteristics, and detects the user’s physical condition. The experimental results show that the system can achieve effective control of household appliances and accurately measurehuman biological characteristics by receiving and recognizing human body posture.It proves that the system is innovative and practical.

Key words: Kinect, Arduinomicroprocessor, depth data, skeletal tracking, biometric identification
