DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wlshgc/global_gesture) has announced the addition of the "Global Gesture Recognition Market for Smart TV 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The analysts forecast the Global Gesture Recognition market for Smart TV to grow at a CAGR of 33.07 percent over the period 2014-2019.
A gesture is a movement of hands, fingers, arms, body, and face of an individual. The gesture of an individual is captured via a camera that takes it as an input. The input then passes through a number of mathematical algorithms that can be used to trace the gestures of the individual. As the extraction of the features takes place, an image is developed through image processing. The image processing serves as an output.
Emergence of stereoscopy in smart TVs is one of the upcoming trends in this market. Stereoscopy creates an illusion of depth in an image and creates a 3D effect from 2D images also. It helps in giving accurate visual images, improving the visualization and perspective of the 2D image.
According to the report, the development of gesture recognition technologies by original equipment manufacturers is one of the major drivers in this market. OEMs such as Sony, use gesture recognition technology, and this helps to generate a sense of trust and goodwill among end-users.
Further, the report states that high initial and replacement costs are one of the major challenges in this market. End-users need to make heavy investments to install smart TVs. Individual consumers may find it difficult to bear these high initial costs.
2D gesture recognition is used in the consumer electronics such as smartphones, TVs, tablets, and laptops. The process of 2D gesture recognition starts from capturing of an image by camera. This image is then processed and matched against the stored database. The output is in the form of the motion changes in the consumer electronics.
