$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run

$ python3 run.py

Extras

Data:

https://www.kaggle.com/parikshitkumar/hand-gestures

Gesture Map:

STANDARD PALM -> 1

2-FINGER L -> 2

STANDARD FIST -> 3

MOVED PALM -> 4

STANDARD THUMB -> 5

STANDARD INDEX -> 6

STANDARD OK -> 7

MOVED PALM -> 8

STANDARD C -> 9

STANDARD DOWN -> 10

Model Accuracy:

Extra Requirements: well lit area, white background, right hand is preferred.

Examples

Might do

• More data for a more robust 'none' class, more data for different backgrounds
• Include more gesture classes for sign language classification
