Thanks to this study we have developed a skin colour based hand detection application. The state of the art already done provides a good starting point in the documentation stage of a hand detector creation for a gesture interface. This paper describes new strategies like assimilative background that combined with HSV, they result in a more robust skin detector.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.4.6 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]: Segmentation --- Pixel classification, I.4.8 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]: Scene Analysis --- Color, H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces --- Natural language
