Abstract
Abstract—The rapid development of computer vision and deep learning has enabled robust hand gesture recognition for human-computer interaction. This paper proposes a smart elevator control system that interprets user hand gestures to invoke floor commands without physical contact. A convolutional neural network is trained on a custom gesture dataset and deployed on an embedded platform with real-time inference. Experimental results demonstrate high recognition accuracy and responsive elevator control in laboratory and field tests.
