Python Skin Extraction

Inspiration

I wanted to work on a language I wasn't to familiar with and learn from it.

What it does

Extracts skin color from a webcam. Then masks the image to only show that color.

How I built it

Using python and CV library for the camera and windows.

Challenges I ran into

Wasn't to familiar what values to use for skin detection. As skin values have a very wide range finding exact ranges was a little difficult.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Made a functional program that has the ability to detect only the skin from the image.

What I learned

I learned the capabilities of this particular library and how it could be used for future uses.

What's next for Python Skin Extraction

Next I want to build upon this and use it image recognition only using the extracted image, and with tensor flow for the deep learning to match images already trained. Most specifically for sign language interpretation.
