Abstract : This report shows in full detail how to realize a gesture recognition system for controlling appliances in home environments. It focusses on the image processing aspects and the calibration of the cameras and it also clarifies details on ergonomic remote control of devices by gestures with the help of a vision system. The motion detection, the modelling and prediction of motion by the Kalman Filter are described. A main interest was to show through the example ARGUS, how the Kalman Filter should be modelled for a physical motion. Some hints for an intuitive dialogue and remarks about home bus systems are outlined. Most aspects mentioned in this report were realized in the ARGUS prototype.,
