Abstract
The proposed research aims to investigate the impact of illumination on the accuracy and efficiency of infrared gesture recognition systems. Specifically, the study seeks to explore whether infrared gesture sensors exhibit greater accuracy in low illumination environments compared to environments with high direct illumination. The experimental setup includes a controlled environment with a moveable light source and a table holding the infrared gesture sensor. Fifty-six tests were conducted, with participants performing gesture recognition tasks under varying illumination levels ranging from 600 lux to 1200 lux. After experimentation, a t-test determined if there is a statistically significant difference in the accuracy of gesture recognition between the two groups. The findings of this study show the threshold illumination is at 1070 lux. An increased illumination after the threshold causes gesture detection failure.
