Numbers of UAV such as four or six rotor aircraft has been dramatically increased over recent years. And the volumetric surveillance based on UAV has been found to be extremely useful in haze visibility detection. however, owing to biunique flight control mode, the cost is higher and flexibility is limited, therefore, an effective human-UAV interaction is needed urgently, so that the UAV array could be controlled naturally by human hand. In this paper, a novel UAV gesture interaction scheme based on Kinect sensor and 2-D camera is presented. In the method, a kind of interaction interface is designed, then the UAV array is controlled in single or double hand. For gesture interaction details, based on the text search method proposed by Shahrouz, a new algorithm called “dummy independently component” is presented. In this approach, the finger movement is classified based on it's coherence, consequently, the number of parameters and database dimension are decreased, and search speed is improved. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of scheme proposed above, final output is rendered with computer simulation and practical experiment.
