Hand Detection

Passion for Vision Detection

Detects the fingers on the hand. It is not done yet, but at least it can detect parts of a hand.

Using opencv and java

Find code in java(most were c++ or python). Hands are very complex and so figuring which features to use to detect was hard. A lot of the solutions also used machine learning. Which I tried to accomplish in the beginning, but found that it is much harder than I thought and takes more time to learn.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Detecting the contours on the hand. More specifically the fingers.

What I learned

Java methods of python origin for opencv. I also saw a brief overview of how machine learning works, in detail.

What's next for Hand Detection

Being able to detect the hand while in motion. Using those results, the program should be able to derive what shape the hand to tell a letter in the ASL alphabet.
