Abstract:

In today’s scenario a device is considered smart if it has the ability to sense touch. Everything that is considered to be modern technology involves the touch-screen surfaces, from mobile phones to laptops to advanced security system, touchscreens have replaced the primary input devices like keyboards and mouse. This technology leads to a smarter and easier way to get a task done. The touch-screen technology can be broadly classified as: Capacitive, Resistive and Imaging. Image processing touch screens are taken into account when touch sensing in larger devices is to be implemented. These can be implemented on a table top and may include object recognition. This paper elucidates a novel algorithm for fingertip recognition for multi touch screens.

Keywords:

Image processing touch-screen, multi touch, fingertip detection, tabletop computer, surface computers.
