The Study of the Non-Contact and Easy Shape Modeling

This paper presents on the study to develop an easy handling system for making design forms of ceramics wares on the CRT display of the personal computer by using image processing method through a man-kind man machine interface. A video cameras installed on the computer can analyze the meaning on what kind of the 3 D shape model is requested by the operator, and several overlaid pictures are represented in the scope. In this study, wire models for a ceramics are displayed according to the operator's simple gesture commands such as“push”, “pull”and“rotate”on the scope with the real time processing. The study aims the development of a man-kind system without any contact sensors to the human body and which understands the operator's simple commands.
