Project Start: PONG game - steering the beams by hand to the Webcam

In the study - image recognition - we got the great task of building the PONG game so far that the bar in the game PONG exclusively by hand can be controlled from the webcam. As a technical tool us is only a WebCam (standard) are available. The use of webcams is intended to ensure that the hand is detected as a single source. The moving image has to be continually evaluated. Important here is the question of where is currently a hand in the moving image? How do I distinguish the hand from the face or other objects that may be in the frame of the moving image. By moving the hand (up, down, left to right) bar should be moved in the game. With this approach, it should be possible to control the game with the hand, is used without a mouse, joystick or keyboard.

this task deal with, I will first investigate once to find out which techniques such as algorithms, formulas, methods are used for example in image recognition. These new insights will certainly help me in my solutions. I am still at the beginning of my research and I have no knowledge of the techniques used in image recognition. An important aspect is also the one that we must recognize here the hand in moving images and the detected image, translate, so the bar that we can control the game PONG in real time.
